Girls & Technoglogy -- Google shows girls it's cool to like computers

Google – Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day

Imagine my surprise when I saw this little link way off to the bottom right of the page on the WSJ.  It’s a video clip of reporter Stacy Delo’s of Google’s Introduce a Girl to Engineering day.  The clip profiles Ellen Spertus a research scientist for Google who talks about the program and about “grabbing” the interest and attention of girls into technology.  

It also has clips from lots of the middle-schoolers themselves, talking about how they are going to change the way people think about girls and technology.


So check out the clip – it’s great.
