Don’t miss Girlstart’s first virtual conference in Second Life on July 22, 2009! The Project IT Girl Showcase in Second Life will take place on the Educators Coop Island at 2pm CST (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Educators%20Coop%201/28/112/24).

During the conference, attendees will learn about the findings from Girlstart’s very first comprehensive program for high school girls. If that wasn’t enough, we’ll also be sharing examples of our curriculum and other resources that made the IT Girl program a success!
