It's not rocket science (or maybe it is)
June 7, 2004
"Though women represent nearly half the U.S labor force and more then half of all undergraduates, just 18% of scientists and engineers employed in industry are women and only about 20% of students graduating with majors in engineering, physics, computer science, and similar fields are women." This may not be surprising news, and that's a problem. But the
Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology
is working on a host of programs that can change these numbers.
Google participates with the Institute to recognize outstanding women students in computer science and technology through the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarships. The Institute has just announced
the 2004 winners
: eight women who have each won $10,000 scholarships, and 11 more honorees who receive $1,000 scholarships.
We salute the winners. May all their successes inspire lots of other women and girls to pursue their (technical) dreams.
