Girls in Technology!

The Center for New Directions at College of Southern Idaho is hosting the 11th Annual Girls In Technology Conference on Friday, March 9, 2012.  The GIT Task Force of interested persons in promoting technology careers for women will begin monthly planning meetings in September.  Our aim is to promote interest in careers focusing on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) for young women as they are in the midst of developing their 4-year high school plan.  It is our hope that engaging these students in activities related to careers in technology will peak their interest and encourage them to pursue an educational plan that includes preparation with technology, math and science courses. 

 Who can attend?  Girls, grades 8-11, from Magic Valley schools are invited.  The conference will be limited to 400 students, teachers & counselors. Lunch will be provided.

What is the program format?  Students attending the first year will attend 2 small group sessions led by either CSI instructors or local persons who are employed in selected career areas.  Second year students will choose one field trip site to local businesses/industries.   Transportation to the field trip sites will be provided by the Task Force. 

The Idaho National Laboratory is sponsoring a special invitation to young women for a special field trip to the Idaho Falls Laboratory for second year attendees.

 If you have suggestions for field trips, workshops or guest speakers, please contact the Center for New Directions, 208-732-6688 or the CSI Career Center, 208-732-6259.
