<p>Sorry abouthte short notice, byt Daughter e-mailed this to me today and I am just passing it on.</p>
<p>Women in Technology Program at MIT. Can you think of any young girls
that might be interested in this program? 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. If you know a
girl who is currently a high school junior with demonstrated math and
science ability and an interest in finding out about EECS, please encourage
her to visit our website for more information and for an application
form (applications are due February 3, 2005): <a href="http://wtp.mit.edu_%5B/url%5D">http://wtp.mit.edu_</a> (

<p>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
