Girls @ Google Day
Wednesday, June 3, 2009
Who said computer science is for boys? Not the 90 girls from six schools who descended on the Google office in Sydney today for our very first Girls @ Google Day.
As part of our diversity K-12 initiative we invited students and teachers from top performing high schools in the areas of computer science, ICT & software design in Sydney to participate in a morning of product demos and algorithm design interactive sessions. We gave them a true taste of what it's like to work in technology.
And these girls rocked! They shared their views on computer science and the Internet with Googlers and each other, and asked very savvy questions around what it's like to work at Google, how studying ICT can open many new avenues of opportunity that were previously unavailable, and demystifying the idea that ICT is just for boys.
The morning was aimed at supporting high school girls in ICT disciplines and to encourage them to continue with these areas of study through HSC and beyond. With so many girls in attendance it was a great chance for them to network, share their ideas on computer science, and get to know a little bit more about what it's like to work in the industry. We hope we've left them with lasting inspiration and passion for computer science, and we look forward to seeing them back at Google again soon.
