Fifty 16 year old girls are an intimidating audience. Until you get them to laugh.
Yesterday, I went to a girls’ school in Kamakura to present “IT Careers for Women” on behalf of DigitalEve. Three classes combined to form a sea of sailor-suited uniforms. Although I heard horror stories from friends who teach about the total non-responsiveness of some classes, these girls turned out to be a great audience.
Heera and I spent almost two hours with them, brainstorming “who helps to make a cell phone” and helping them to discover their Myers-Briggs type. There were a lot of extraverts in the class–thank goodness!
