Student learning goals
We'll explore computing at the UW and beyond: * exciting research areas (robotics, animation, game design, computers in education and medicine) * the contributions of important women in computing * how computing can solve real world problems in science, education, health, the arts, and many other fields * computing career paths and related majors at the UW * current issues in computing
We'll meet future, current, and former CSE majors, including CSE alumni now in the computing industry. We'll also visit a local company to see what life is life for women in computing after graduation.
