[Chapter-delegates] VIDEO: CSNYC Women in Computer Science - How to get girls interested and involved

[Joly MacFie]

ISOC-NY VP Evan Korth is a co-founder, and Executive Director, of CSNYC,
which aims to promote Computer Science education in the City's Schools.
This was the 6th meetup, since kicking off in November 2013, with the topic
of involving more girls in computer science studies. As you will see from
the video, this is an actively developing area. There is plenty of
opportunity, Representatives of  a local initiative - Girls Who Code - and,
national - NCWIT,  spoke, after which some girl students themselves related
their exoeriences in an informal Q&A session.

Just a couple days after this event, Crain's Business News ran a feature on
CSNYC..

 Pay attention to the resources link below- there's plenty of good stuff
there, including a tutorial on how to teach CS to people who don't even
have computers! And good tips on how to bring girls into the field
