REMINDER, Aug. 16, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Association for Women in Technology to Host "Computers in Every Day Life Interest Project" Workshop for Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts
WHAT: The Association for Women in Technology, Southern
California (AWT), a local non-profit organization dedicated
to serving the advancement of women and girls in all fields
of technology, will host the final of three summer
workshops for members of the Girl Scout Council of Orange
County at Fluor Corporation in Aliso Viejo. The "Computers
in Every Day Life Interest Project Workshop" for Cadette
and Senior Girl Scouts will teach girls to use computers in
a variety of ways to accomplish goals and tasks in every
day life. AWT's summer workshops allow the girls to
complete various requirements to earn Brownie, Junior, and
Cadette and Senior recognitions while learning about
technology and various careers in technical fields. The
popular summer program was such a success, that AWT will
start a new round of Girl Scout workshops in September that
will run monthly through the end of 2004.
The cost of the workshop is $10 per girl. There is a limit
of 20 participants for each workshop, so girls are
encouraged to register early. To register a Cadette or
Senior Girl Scout for this workshop, please call Lesley
