On May 1
4, 2016, UCSD’s Women in Computing (WIC) hosted “Girls’ Day Out”. This event is one among several outreach programs WIC coordinates over the course of the academic year to reach out to local high schools and foster interest in Computer Science.
WIC is part of a movement to remedy the lack of representation of specific groups, including women, African Americans, Latinos, and many more, in technology.
