 * Computing Outreach** is important to the mission of SIGCT. We continue to be involved in efforts to increase the number of younger students who will consider computer science and information technology in their future career choices. Karen North, the SIGCT Middle School Representative, is collecting information which will serve as the basis for continued online information of events and resources to support Computing Outreach. The particular session at NECC 2008 is:

[Session: Lecture] Barbara Ericson, Georgia Institute of Technology with Michelle Hutton and Karen North Tuesday, 7/1/2008, 12:30pm–1:30pm; HGCC 102 B Want to get students excited about computing, beyond surfing the web? This session will enable teachers to start after-school computing clubs, and summer camps.

Karen's handout is currently available. We also have wiki pages which contain the same or updated information. They begin here. If you have additions or changes, we encourage you to join this wiki to leave Discussion ideas for all to see.
