Here is an update regarding our next in-person National Champions Board meeting on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 in Washington DC. The meeting will be held at the Cisco office. Please use the registration link below to indicate your attendance. Lunch will be provided. I promise we will end promptly at 4:00 for those of you who may need to travel directly to the airport. I know some of you may be attending the Gender Summit 3 to be held the week prior (announcement attached). I understand if you are not able to attend both events, so we will have a videoconference option for those of you unable to attend in person. If you are attending in-person, please use the registration link below. If you are planning to attend via videoconference, please send me an e-mail.

The most popular date is Tuesday, November 19, 2013, from 10:00am-4:00pm in DC. We'll have a very full agenda with updates, discussion, and presentations. I'll confirm a location before the end of the summer. Here are two additional updates. The National Science Foundation Highlights NGCP: NGCP has been highlighted on the National Science Foundation's (NSF) SEE Innovation website in an article titled "Strengthening Informal Science Programs for Girls". The SEE Innovation website highlights outcomes of NSF-funded research and the NGCP is honored to be included! While the NGCP has more recent results than those noted in the highlight, the summary is meant to "highlight" the diversity of outcomes from NSF-supported research rather than describe the most recent research news. http://go.usa.gov/bH7C<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001kh5ziY2a5jWKJv0nU24Pw1ZDI66ASLU4Up-2KuDg4F3Rgh03ktOb4hWCkOlLd8MfdJ__Qf-LuYVuE6TYsRVaI-dage5f-rDhgx_aTUZqKRY=> Creating GAMES for Girls: NGCP is partnering with Northeastern University, Seattle and the Institute for Systems Biology on a multi-year initiative to create games that will encourage girls to consider STEM. As we continue to identify partners, I hope some of you will be interested in joining us! Here's an article with more information. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2021302993_girlgamexml.html Enjoy your summer! We'll have more news, requests, and questions for you soon. Thanks for everything you are doing to support girls in STEM! Karen
