We are looking forward to our big conference event at Seattle Central on May 16th. The focus is on Information Technology and women who are doing technology in non-tech companies like Nordstroms, Starbucks, and the government. There will be workshops, a tour of the I.T. program, a keynote speaker over lunch, and prizes!

Another focus of the event is for seniors looking to start their college career. Seniors attending this trip will have a session filling out their Seattle Central Community College application, asking questions about college, and scheduling a Compass test.

• Seniors, scholarships can pay for 2 years at Seattle Central, 2 whole years!!
• FAFSA has a priority deadline of April 25th

We had a fabulous field trip to Digipen Institute of Technology! It was a very special day, organized by Diann Stromm and Heidi Munoz who are the Outreach Coordinators for Digipen. They put together a fantastic day. It was truly an inspirational and valuable trip. The girls found it delightful, deeply educational and powerful.

We had such a special and rewarding experience with the Women in IT event at Microsoft. Last year was our first time at the Women in IT event and the girls had such a great time. This year Karl Ruff who is the Project Lead the Way teacher,( pre- engineering) at Roosevelt HS, brought young women from him classes back again this year to enjoy this empowering event.

It was a fabulous and valuable experience for the girls to hear all about how the college women picked their majors and what that experience is like for them. They also talked about what careers these majors would lead to and gave vital information so the girls can make informed decisions about college and beyond.
