I once had a co-worker ask me if I had ever felt discriminated against as a girl, to which my honest answer was no.
But, I will admit that in the technology world - the boys outnumber the girls. I personally don’t know too many women who are interested in computer programming.
Kirkwood Community College is hoping to attract some female attention with their High-Tech Girlz Day. High school aged females can attend the one day event and participate in interactive workshops on GPS/GIS systems, Local Area Networking and Web design - plus a free t-shirt and flash drive.
High-Tech Girlz Day is scheduled for Oct. 23. Kirkwood is accepting registrations through Oct. 16.
Pass the info along to any high school girls with a bright future in technology!
