This Saturday was the annual Expanding Your Horizons for young women interested in Sciences. When I was in junior high and high school, I really enjoyed going to UT for EYH. There was always such interesting work in the sciences that fascinated me. I remember seeing a beautiful rose break like glass after being dipped into liquid nitrogen and being astonished by the beauty and complexity of the inner workings of computers.

Today was my chance to inspire other girls with my passion for computing. Using Logo, the girls moved a turtle (with a little help) through a maze created by Mulhern and Rebecca. We were fortunate to get so many women from CS to help- it was a ratio of two girls-to-one CS woman and it worked well. Lastly the girls got a nice overview about what is happening inside a computer from Rebecca- they got to touch and ask all the questions they wanted. It was great! I am glad that I made the time in my schedule to help!
