What people are saying...
Thank you for the marvelous presentation that Tara and Jamie
enthusiastically shared. Their expertise, knowledge, professionalism,
and above all, a sense of fun made this
a wonderfully received educational opportunity.
— MARCIA DAVIS (Batchelor)
I am very glad that we hosted Just Be at Pike High School!!
Our enrollment in our Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) had an
increase of women after the presentation, which I attribute to the
Just Be presenters. It is "cool" for women to work with
technology.
— BENJAMIN CSIKOS (Pike)
You did an EXCELLENT job and should be commended on your
efforts. You are really making a difference in the future of
computing!

 Just Be is an interactive experience created by the Women
in Computing group at Indiana University-Bloomington. The goal of the
interactive experience is to break common stereotypes about
people in computing. The presentation begins with an introduction of
presenters to
give audience members an idea of what the presenters did while they
were in school. During the interactive component, audience members
use eInstruction voting modules to
participate in fun polls challenging personal stereotypes. Just Be
concludes by describing interesting fields of computing to spark
people's involvement in computing.
|
Just Be is presented at regional K-12 schools.
Just Be is a free outreach program.
The inviting schools do not have to provide
sponsorship.
