Startup

We work on organizing a joint event between the Girlscouts of Northern California and the bay area chapter of the ACM . We want to make a career in  computing attractive to middle and high-school age girls. The one-day event will take place in November and we are aiming for about 300 attendees. The format of the event will be like a conference: speakers will talk about their work in the field. We are planning to have a keynote, topic tracks and workshops.

This blog is to be used as a diary to keep track of things loosely.
