PLEASE pass this information on to any teachers/administrators/educators within the North Carolina whom you know. This is an excerpt from an email sent to me.... "wanted to let everyone know that some local developers are starting a chapter of Techgirlz in Raleigh. Techgirlz is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to reducing and, they hope, ultimately eliminating the gender gap in technology occupations. They hold workshops and an annual entrepreneurial summer camp aimed at giving middle-school girls hands-on experience with different kinds of technology and enable them to interact with women who have carved out successful careers in technology fields. If you know a middle-school-aged girl who would be interested, their kickoff event will be Thursday, November 20, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at Bandwidth, on the NC State Campus. You can sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/triangle-techgirlz-technical-career-paths-tickets-13529578333 If you are interested in volunteering, you can join the volunteers group here: http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-TechGirlz-Volunteers/ " We need more females in the technology field. This is where most of the jobs are going to be when they graduate from high school.
