The Women's Technology Program at MIT is a 4-week summer residence program to introduce high school girls to electrical engineering and computer science.

Our classes are taught in a supportive environment by a staff of women MIT PhD candidates and undergraduates. The full-time academic program includes hands-on experiments and team-based projects in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics.
Our goals are to: increase girls' interest and confidence in pursuing computer science and engineering and * make them aware of their potential for success in these fields Participants are selected from a nationwide applicant pool of girls who attend the program in the summer between their junior and senior year in high school. No prior experience in computer programming, physics, or electrical engineering is expected, but applicants typically have strong academic records, especially in math and science.
Thank you for your help in communicating information about this opportunity to girls across the country!

The Black World Today Back On-line
One of the first and most authoritative Black News sources is back on-line is The Black World Today. The Black World Today is now an .org. This means they have been restructured to be a non-profit organization. But this was one of my favorite publications and I am glad they are back. The new link is TBWT.org from Kamau
