| NOTE FROM RACHEL |

It's February at Girlstart, and that means love is in the air -- a love of math, science, and technology, that is! We've got a lot of exciting programs over the next few months to tell you about! Our free Saturday camps are going strong, and our next one, Tech Girl, is scheduled for February 17th. Girls participating in this camp get to learn advanced HTML, and they get to make their own digital music on the computer as well! To sign up for the camp, register online on the Girlstart website. We're also proud to be hosting this year's Expanding Your Horizons workshop at UT-Austin on March 24. Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade girls from across Central Texas can learn how to get started in life-changing careers through fun hands-on workshops led by women scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. You can sign up online for this amazing program at eyhaustin.org. Finally, if you know any high school sophomores who have a love for math, science and technology, please spread the news to them about Project IT Girl! As you may have heard, Project IT Girl is a new three-year program we're doing with National Science Foundation support, which will help girls get a jump on information technology careers. Only 60 girls can join, and it includes free camps, a paid internship, and so much more! The deadline's fast approaching – visit the IT Girl page on our site ( http://www.girlstart.org /itgirl/) for more information!
