Animated character to talk at UMBC Computer Mania Day
Tim Finin, 1:00pm 2 May 2007
The UMBC Center for Women and Information Technology will host Computer Mania Day on Saturday May 5th to provide a half day of technology-related activities geared for 6th - 8th grade girls and their parents. The invited speaker will be Jennifer Webb, described as
a digitally animated 8th grader at Computer Mania Middle School. Although she does not always receive straight A’s, Jennifer really enjoys school, especially her algebra class.
While boys are welcome, the focus is on girls because of their continuing under-participation in information technology classes and careers. This program is designed to provide a broad-based introduction to information technology applications to different careers.
