South by Southwest Interactive Conference border=

Girlstart is presenting a panel at this year's South by South West (SXSW) Interactive Conference and we hope to see you there! The panel, titled "Gaming as a Gateway Drug: Getting Girls Interested in Technology", will open up a conversation between the gaming industry, educators, and the non-profit community to discuss how we can successfully use video games to spark girls' interest in technology from a young age and throughout their education.

The panel will be moderated by Girlstart's Technology & Program Coordinator, Dee Kapila, and will feature a panel consisting of Sony Online Entertainment's senior designer, Sheri Graner Ray; the Educator's Coop's Co-Founder, Joe Sanchez; Texas State University's Assistant New Media Professor, Dr. Cindy Royal, and Her Interactive CEO & President, Megan Gaiser.
