Women in Computer Science

The Undergraduate Women in Computer Science (WICS) at the University of Pennsylvania and the Dept. of Computer and Information Science (CIS) would like to invite your academically strong female students to attend Women in Computer Science High School Day for Girls on Fri, April 10, 2015.  The goal of this free program is to encourage women to pursue a college degree and successful career in a computer science related field. We are targeting high school girls, especially those who excel in science and mathematics, who may be considering a college degree in science or engineering.

 

Attached is the WICS High School Day flyer and agenda.  Students must register on the following site.  Register early as seats are limited.

All events are free.
