Celebrating Girls in Information and Communication Technology Day | U.S. Department of State Blog

Posted on by TechCommGeekMom

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

As a woman who didn’t have this kind of support growing up to participate more strongly in the information and communications field, I encourage everyone to not only celebrate and support girls for Information and Communication Technology Day, but also to encourage girls to not be afraid of STEM subjects and go for it if STEM subjects are what they enjoy most. Girl power!
