garage, in room 315)
On this one day workshop, high
school counselors are invited to explore the inside story of computer
science and the possible career paths for their high school students.
Computer Science faculty and staff will offer information and lead discussions about aspects of technology-related careers that you may not know, including some of the more exciting possibilities, and point out common requirements for technology-related college majors.
CU hours for LPC
credit will be awarded to the participants. Although registration
is free for the workshop, please give us an idea
