Alverno College, Milwaukee, recently held its ninth annual University of Cyber Challenge, where girls in grades seven through twelve were introduced to cutting-edge technology, and received instruction from Alverno teachers on the basics of web design, digital photography, magazine editing, and filmmaking. The week long program also gave the girls an opportunity to visit the Bradley Center, the Pettit National Ice Center, Comedy Sportz, and the Silverbrook Program Center in West Bend. According to Girl Scouts of Wisconsin South East CEO Molly Fuller, the girls range from ages 11 to 17 and are very diverse.
"The girls benefit(ed) from great technology instruction, as well as an opportunity to learn about other cultures and a chance to experience college life," she said.
