I'm planning an outreach event at JPL (Pasadena/La Canada-Flintridge) on Friday, Feb 10th aimed at encourage girls to continue pursuing an interest in coding and technology. It is primarily targeted at high schoolers participating in programs like Girls Who Code and FIRST Robotics, though I have invited a couple of college outreach groups and my colleagues to participate.
One of the things I want to do is to bring their attention to hackathons and conferences. SCALE is an obvious example. I've also reached out to people I know with the NASA Space Apps Challenge and the Intel Science and Engineering Fair.
Is someone from SCALE available to talk about the youth track and its activities with the aim of either encouraging them to attend SCALE or participate in the future.
The event will be Friday, Feb 10th, from 6pm to 9pm. Please let me know and I will make arrangements off-list.
Thanks,
Lan
