I haven't been to many of the WIT sessions but the few I have been at and from what I have read, these groups are NOT made up of just women but include men who are concerned that women are not encouraged to explore technology careers, not just computer technology, but any of the STEM careers. We as a group are missing out on a different and unique perspective on how problems can be approached and solved. Honestly, men and women do think about things differently.

I am hoping that I may be able to get more involved with WIT in Colorado Springs when I return from Afghanistan. We need to encourage more women (and other minorities) to explore STEM education and careers. The opportunities are there for them.
