Blog Entry: I read an article by Julia King, where by groups of girl’s ages 11 to 20 wearing jeans and pigtails are attending Technology Goddess Camps.  Week long summer programs for girl’s aimed at keeping young girls interested in computing. Studies show that prior to the 5th grade boys and girls do have similar levels of interest, but after this time, boys interests increases and girls begin to wander. So by having these Camps and exposing girl’s to educated women professionals who have become famous in computer related careers, anyone of these girl’s attending could spark enough interest that one day she may become a CIO, because they're starting now. Most of the programs take place in a "girl friendly" learning environment. Girl’s learning patterns are different, girl’s are much more social. They like working together in teams.They’re also much more impressionable by role models.Remember, the Girl Scout Motto"As you learn, teach someone else!" Wow!  I guess the guys must have similar programs, or are we on our own? Look at all the women poker players that have come out of the closet and beat the pants off all us guys.   See, once girls gain life skills and develop critical thinking patterns "Watch Out" they educate themselves and other girl’s and it's hurrah at the poker tables for them. I think they created the phrase "Show me the Money" Maybe the girl’s have a similar "Secret Poker Camp" for goddesses. The possibilities are endless. Girl’s need to see and talk to other professional poker playing woman and view what a career in this field might hold.I spoke to a few young girl’s and they said " Who wants to be a geek and sit at acomputer all day and be by yourself." That’s why professional woman poker players are committed to help girl’s appreciate the creative and career possibilities in poker. Whew! The Secret Goddess Poker Camp, a place any guy would want to attend. "SILLY BOYS"they'd whip you a new (asXXXXX)Oh! Well, who knows, maybe one day, one of these goddesses will win the WSOP bracelet ...  Good Luck, Ladies!
