DotDiva, New Program to Improve Computing's Image to Girls

Informational Session at Grace Hopper Conference Outlines ACM-WGBH Outreach Effort

Dot Diva (formerly known as New Image for Computing (NIC)), is an initiative of ACM and the WGBH Educational Foundation to improve the image of computer science among college-bound high school girls. The Dot Diva program is inviting participation of students, faculty and interested others via recruiting, nominations and joining Dot Diva on Facebook and Twitter.

Ignite Talks, a new component of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC), included a presentation on NIC and Dot Diva to raise awareness of efforts aimed at improving the public image of computing. For more information, check the GHC conference program (pdf; go to page 31 or search on "Ignite")
