UCSD Women In Computing (WIC) is hosting its first annual outreach event, Girl's Day Out, on Saturday, April 20, 2013. The objectives of this event are to attract high school girls to the amazing opportunities that the Computer Science and Engineering/Information Technology offer. In order to accomplish this goal, this event will expose these girls to interactive and real-world applications to the field.

The planned events of the day include: laboratory tours, developing an Android application, keynote speakers and a panel of speakers, both consisting of women from industry and academia. WIC's primary goal is to foster excitement to these young women into pursing a career in Computer Science/Information Technology. As it is WIC's first year hosting the event, we hope to reach out to 100 girls in the greater San Diego area. For more information and to register, please visit http://wic.ucsd.edu/girlsdayout.html.
