Hey everyone. I have some exciting for you - Bianca Li, our secretary, recently went to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference in Arizona. There, she met Oreoluwa Somolu, Executive Director of W.TEC, The Women's Technology Empowerment Centre, an organization based in Nigeria that encourages Nigerian girls and women to learn how to use technology to empower themselves socially and economically. One event they hold is an annual Girls Technology Camp in the month of August. WCS has decided to partner with W.TEC to raise money for 2 volunteers to travel to Nigeria and assist in this camp. We have several events planned for the rest of this semester and for next semester to raise money, so please support our cause! Visit the events page for more on that (coming up soon: we are having a bake sale at the Busch Student Center!) Also, if you would like more info on W.TEC, the Technology Camp, or if you are interested in traveling to Nigeria for this project and being a volunteer, visit the page on W.TEC on the right.
