January IGNITE Event a Success!

On Saturday, January 12, 2008, Carola Dopps coordinated a very successful event for IGNITE using the Gender Chip film and subsequent panel discussion to illustrate the challenges for young women exploring the STEM fields.  

<!--break-->Carola reported back that many of the participants were excited about the Gender Chip Project and hoped to bring the film into their schools. In addition to the Gender Chip film (of course :), the event’s highlight was the keynote by U.S. Maria Cantwell who shared her personal techie experiences working for RealNetworks.
