Global Outcomes, Inc. (GO) will host Computer Mania Day to
provide a FREE half day of technology-related activities geared for 6th - 8th
grade girls and their parents. While boys are welcome, the focus is on
girls because of their continuing under-participation in technology
classes and careers.
This program is designed to provide a broad-based
introduction to technology applications to different careers.
Up to 500
students will be gathered in small groups of no more
than 30, and the
groups will rotate between technology demonstration stations.
At each
station, the students will learn about the application of technology to
the world of work through fun and interactive activities.

An adult program will complement the day by providing a variety of
breakout sessions that will allow parents and teachers to learn more on
special topics such as cyber safety, hot technologies, and opportunities
for girls in IT.
Adults will receive advice from business professionals
and education leaders that will better prepare them as their children
prepare for college and begin thinking about their future careers.
