"I
hated computers but now I don't see how I live without
one. The teachers were great...
even when you had a horrible day, they helped you make
it great."

Technology
is the next frontier for women. Recent studies show that
females are not choosing to participate in computer environments
as often as males, thus closing themselves off from some
of the most exciting and lucrative careers. Working in
Imagine Logo, students will gain proficiency and
comfort on the computer.
All activities in Imagine Logo
work to improve students' problem-solving skills as well
as computer proficiency.

Imagine Logo is a very sophisticated, yet accessible, computer
language
developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT).
Lessons progress from
simple to more complex exercises and ultimately students
will design their own projects. Past projects have included
patchwork quilts, group murals, interactive games, and
personal note cards.
