Intel

Bev Bachmeyer, Intel, International. Academic relations, ACM. Used to run Intel/SAP lab in Walldorf.

Sat Feb 27 2010.

Open to local school districts, girls scouts get seats.

Held event for young girls (13-17) in Germany, 5 days, building a PC. Installed windows, “moodle” programming, how world looks in 20 years. Effective listening classes, presentation skills. Friday presented their projects. Most successful: women engineers sat at tables during lunch.

Bev has a lot of interest in the subject. Could do sponsoring. Needs package from Ruth. $5k for Platinum quickly, because budget is in the works.

Speakers: have multitude of women in the subject.

Will set up meeting with global group Thursday how they could help out. We can even use her as a contact. Might move support to corporate technology group.

Intel has a lot of experience with that – modeled it after Google.

Girls were very interested, and was a big success. Main thing is giving young girls opportunity to meet engineers working in the field. Role models.

Bev needs:

  • specifics on sponsorships.
  • speakers they can provide. February is not so far away.

Bev is interested in attending meetings by phone until 1pm or after 9pm PST. Can even get someone from the US team to help out.
