Outreach

As you may have noticed, CU-WISE is hoping to get involved with many outreach programs around the Ottawa area. While at the Grace Hopper conference in Colorado, I attended several talks about specific projects others have done, ideas for new activities to try, and discussion on how to best attract high school women into computer science. If you're interested in this area at all, please check out the summaries of the talks linked to below. If you have any ideas or questions about outreach, let me know in the comments.

• Using Robots to Introduce Computer Programming to Middle Schools
• Inspiring Girls in Technology: How to Make Every Outreach a Success
• Recruiting High School Women Into Computer Science
