The Jade Project, an organization that supports girls and women who are interested in Computer Science, is looking for eager volunteers for their upcoming GirlSmarts workshop!
GIRLsmarts is an outreach program affiliated with the Department of Computer Science (CS) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). They been offering this program since 2004 to Grade 6 and 7 girls, leading them through a series of activities that show that Computer Science and Math are fun topics and are everywhere! Naturally, they are looking for dependable, responsible, enthusiastic people with a background in computer science… which means YOU!
To signup and find out more about volunteering in the Jade Project’s GIRLSmarts program, see http://www.jadeproject.ca/girlsmarts/volunteers.html. Or, if you know someone who would be interested in participating in the workshops themselves, point them to the GIRLSmarts program. Fun for everyone!
After Google, IBM, and EA, who have we left out? Microsoft, of course!
On Wednesday Nov. 23, 2005 from 6:00-7:15pm, MSFT will be visiting UBC. Whether you use Microsoft products or not is irrelevant - the fact is that they are the largest software company in the world. And they are always hiring!
Hear speakers talk about the software and projects Microsoft works on (it isn’t just Vista) and what it’s like to work there. UBC alumni (including last year’s CSSS president Jono Luk) will be there to relate their experiences there. Don’t forget to bring your resume! They want to hire you! That’s why they’re coming! And as always, it comes with pizza!
See Microsoft College Careers for more information about working at Microsoft. Or, check out theSpoke for general talk and more information about the Imagine Cup in New Delhi this year!
