How time flies After the completion of the 1st phase of NFS project</a>. A project designed to teach women how to effectively use web 2.0 tools. We moved on to W.TEC Summer Camp. The so much anticipated 1st Womens’ Technology Empowerment Centre Summer Camp in Technology for secondary school girls will start in 3 days time. The plans started a long time ago with nominees from the invited schools and other nomines via the internet writing the pre-selection test to be able to pick the best 15 girls.

W.TEC conducted both written and oral tests for the brilliant secondary school girls. 35 girls wrote the test and all of them were fantastic!!! The oral test gave us insight into how intelligent the girls are. They reall are intelligent. All of them did well but we could only pick the top 15 for the SUMMER CAMP.

W.TEC is rocking this wonderful initiative in 3 days time. All the young girls will be at the camp to learn new things and develop themselves.

GO W.TEC!!! Impart and impact the next geek of our generation!!!
