For the June/July 2007 enrollment, WomenGamers.Com and National Computer Camp (NCC) are offering scholarships to two female students ages 8-18 for one week. These will be the first scholarships ever given to girls wishing to attend this summer experience!

Scholarship applicants need to submit an essay in response to the following question: “What will video games of the future be like and if you were in charge of designing a game, what would it be like?” The 500 - 600 word essay must be submitted to scholarship@womengamers.com no later than April 27, 2007. Along with the essay, include your name, address, telephone, e-mail address, and age.

The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) Webcast will be held on April 25, 11AM-12PM Pacific. The Webcast will include an overview of the project and an update from each of our new regional collaboratives. Learn how the NGCP can connect you to other girl-serving organizations in your area and across the country, both in person and though innovative online methods. We encourage anyone working with girls in STEM or interested in this issue to participate.

NGCP Webcasts are presented by the Education Development Center (EDC), to provide project updates and resources relating to informal learning and evaluation and assessment. Two weeks before the webcast, all registrants will receive the webcast URL, a toll-free call-in number, and a technical systems check link.
To register for the webcast, please RSVP to Bethany Carlson, BCarlson@edc.org
