[UWAB] Amazing job opportunity!
by Pham, Candis E 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Good morning girls! Look below for an amazing job opportunity! I had worked with Barb Ericson this past summer and had a wonderful time. It's a great way to inspire girls to learn more about computing, and to find that computing can be fun! Anyways, check it out. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks and have a great day! (@)_)-.--;--- Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair B.S. Computational Media ==================== A message from Barb Ericson =========================== Dear Students, Would you like a flexible part-time job that pays you to help introduce students to computing? Do you have at least 5 hours a week (most weeks) that you can work? I am looking to hire Computer Science or Computational Media majors who are responsible and outgoing to help us change attitudes about computing. I am also looking for people who just want to volunteer to help. We will be running 15 four-hour workshops with the Girl Scouts this year as well as seven one-hour sessions at Girl Scout camps. See http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/ice-gt/637 for the dates. As you know there are not enough women, African Americans, or Hispanics in computing and the Institute for Computing Education (ICE) is trying to battle the negative stereotypes about computing by holding computing workshops with the Girl Scouts, YWCA, Cool Girls, Boys and Girls Clubs, and more. Last year over 1300 girls got some introduction to computing with us. Our evaluation efforts show that even with a 4-hour workshop we can change girl's attitudes towards computing in a positive way. We have found that PicoCrickets, which are an arts and crafts kit for the digital age, result in the highest number of statistically significant changes in attitudes towards computing. We also use Scratch, Alice, and LEGO Mindstorms robot kits in our workshops. We pay for the time it takes to learn how to run the workshop, set-up time, clean-up time, and any travel time. Most of the workshops are here at Georgia Tech, but we do also go to some Girl Scout camps. We pay between $10 and $18 an hour, depending on what year of school you are in. For more information or to apply please contact Barbara Ericson (ericson(a)cc.gatech.edu) Thank You, Barb Ericson
