[ACM-W] 2009 Games For Girls Competition (apply early)

[Bettina Bair]

The 2009 Games for Girls Competition is open for registration.  Total
Registration is limited, so please register early at
http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/outreach/games4girls.php

The team from Ohio State came in SECOND last year.  Who will win it this year?

ChicTech, an outreach program of the University of Illinois'
Department of Computer Science, extends an open invitation for college
women to participate in the fifth annual Games for Girls Programming
Competition (G4G).

G4G was conceived in response to research indicating that boys enjoy a
relatively greater degree of confidence with computers because they
spend more time as children playing computer games. Research suggests
that this difference in confidence contributes to the gender imbalance
seen within the growing field of Computer Science.

The winning team will receive $2000 and the winning team's department
will receive $500.
