<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">On an introductory level, girls love to
design things, make things look pretty. They love anything social so web
2.0 tools are great. Event management seems to go down well too, like
planning their 16<sup>th</sup> birthday parties and things. They love
digital photography as well. Once they are engaged I have found girls
love animation, film making and game making as much as the boys do.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">yep, me again...</span></font></p>
</div>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Now, I was thinking this week about a few things for my
middle school classes and had this idea that I got from remembering that
Margaret Lawson(I think it was you) who did a similar thing previously at one
of her schools(I think it was when she was at MLC from memory).</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyway,...If others have got a similar concept up and
running in a co-ed school as mine is, I'd love some ideas to get me started of
what works..and what doesnt!</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Being a non-married male, I dont have a wife to get ideas
from on this one, so any of you gals out there who teach IT and have done this,
can you help this bloke out with some tips! (on the 'girls in computing' group
that is...but I am open to ideas on the other obvious one too - always!).</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Just wondering where to start with this one...too many
options...careers, gaming, programming, working with computers in the
office...etc.</span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I can confidently tell you that my principal will support
this idea...he's just that kinda guy!</span></font></p>
