Next Steps: Reviewers needed!
We’re looking for qualified partners and colleagues to become official reviewers and review a few of the many applications submitted. The review period is now through December 7, is easy, time-friendly and flexible.
Reviewing applications is rewarding and helps people learn about what high school women are passionate about in the world of technology. Industry professionals, academics and retired high school personnel are needed to complete 13,000 reviews.
