Congratulations to our CI Computer Girls !!!
CI Computer Girls has been announced as a winner of Fall 2014 (Round 9) Student Seed Fund award from the National Center of Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) sponsored by Symantec.

As a winner, CI Computer Girls will receive a grant that will fund hosting a programming boot-camp with two-fold objectives:

• to ease introduction of female students to the world of computing, foster the feeling of comfort and belonging to a supportive group of peers from day one,
• to gain new knowledge while at the same time practicing leadership skills and building self-confidence.
