Gillian posted a new blog entry on our summer camp from last year targeting teaching girls about computing and engineering through the use of PicoCrickets and the chance to “play engineer” through hands-on arts and crafts style computing activities.

It’s also a good time to let everyone know that the women from WICS (Women in Information and Computer Sciences) at UCI are continuing this great work with their own workshops throughout this year!
