WHO:

  Middle school aged girls

WHAT:

  A free one-day event for middle school aged girls interested in technology. DIGITAL is designed to inspire       girls to break limits and explore technology through hands-on activities led by female JMU students. 

WHY:

  Today, women comprise more than half of the U.S. professional workforce, yet over two-thirds of the 1.4         million new IT jobs generated by 2020 could be left unfilled. The lack of women in computing and technology   represents a failure to capitalize on the benefits of diverse perspectives.
