"Women in Computer Science: How I became one and why you should be
one too." That was the title of the talk that computer science teaching
professor Christine Alvarado gave to about100 girls from around San
Diego county high school girls May 10 here at the Jacobs School during
Girl's Day Out, an event organized by the UC San Diego chapter of Women
in Computing.
The girls toured labs here on campus,
including the immersive Star Cave, and got to make their own
Arduino-powered mood lamps. In addition to Alvarado, they also got to
hear from the computer science's department new teaching professor Mia
Mannes, and students from WIC @ UCSD.
