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 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.
