The 14th National Women of Color Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Conference invites middle school robotics teams to the 2009 NWOC VEX Clean Sweep Invitational. Enroll and watch as the brightest, young minds push their robots to accomplish the mission of this year’s VEX challenge, Clean Sweep.
The event is also the perfect opportunity for families to attend an exciting, fun, and free educational event that will engage and inspire kids. The competition motivates impressionable young minds to enhance their skills in the critical STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math) through the construction, development, programming, and operation of VEX robots.
The 2009 NWOC VEX Clean Sweep Invitational is only one of many activities taking place October 29-31, 2009, at the Hilton Anatole as part of the 14th National Women of Color STEM Conference, www.womenofcolor.net. For more than 13 years, this multi-cultural event has been the conference of choice for the recognition of the significant accomplishments of minority women in the digital world, and it attracts talented people who serve in innovative, professional, and technical positions.
A high-level meeting of minority women in information technology, computer science, information science, bioinformatics and digital arts; the National Women of Color Technology Awards conference (NWOC) is the place to connect with the key issues in corporate diversity, the critical shortage of women in IT careers, technological innovation, and women-owned IT ventures.
The Conference, with its widely praised awards, supports and recognizes minority women in technology careers. It connects them with mentors and employers capable of jump-starting—or restarting--their careers. College students also attend, to meet the winners and to learn how to take the next critical steps to forging careers of their own.
