1305_ 11/05/12 - Ever wish you didn't have to deal with the hassle of collecting money from friends or family, when making a group purchase of tickets or gifts? Ever wonder where kids too young to use Facebook can hang out safely, online? Ever think how much easier shopping for makeup online would be if you could get personalized recommendations based on your photo?
        It just so happens that entrepreneurs already have created startup companies that make these online experiences better, and it just so happens that all three of these company founders are women. We've interviewed these founders and picked their brains about business, technology, entrepreneurship, risk-taking, funding, networks, the work/life juggle, and more. Listen up now.

Brandy Alexander-Wimberly, Founder and CEO of Buyvite, a group purchasing platform that allows many users to contribute money towards a group transaction

Hilary DeCesare, Co-founder and CEO of Everloop, a social media website designed to be a safe place for kids under 13 years old

Asmau Ahmed, Founder and CEO of Plum Perfect, a visual search engine that provides personalized recommendations to shoppers using their own photos

We started our Entrepreneurial Heroes interview series in 2007 because we didn't believe there are "no women technical founders" … but we did believe that women founders weren't getting the attention they deserve. To-date NCWIT has completed more than 70 interviews with successful women entrepreneurs in tech for the NCWIT Entrepreneurial Heroes series. We hope these women will inspire you, motivate you, and surprise you as they describe how they first got involved in technology, what characteristics they think are vital to being a successful founder, and what advice they would give to young people interested in technology or entrepreneurship

You can listen in at http://www.ncwit.org/heroes, or find our podcast in iTunes.

Do you know a successful female tech entrepreneur whose ideas and products are changing the way we think, work, play, and communicate? Nominate a Hero for our interview series.

NCWIT Entrepreneurial Heroes is sponsored by the NCWIT Entrepreneurial Alliance — helping startup companies build gender-inclusive cultures, right from the start — with support from EMC.

It's about the next generation-edge of human computer interaction
1304_ 11/05/12 - Always looking for the connection... Back in 1999 w3w3.com was launched; that same year Eric Norlin launched his business 'organizing great technology conferences'. We're familiar with Defrag but this year we're treated to an overlap and peak preview of the Blur Conference. While some of you are familiar with Blur, we were not and we asked for an overview and how the two differ. "Defrag is a little bit different beast. When people say technology conference, they think we're going to be focusing in on really hard core technology - but what Defrag tries to do is be a strategic conversation that's looking out at a time horizon of 18-24 months. And then, through the prism of technology, looking at different issues. You might get everything at Defrag from about how social business technology or big data technology will impact corporate IT in the next two years - to a talk about how technology is disrupting community management or financial services sector, or healthcare, all the way down to what it means to be a woman in an emerging IT field and the kinds of challenges associated with that. It really tends to be a pretty far reaching discussion tied together by this future looking focus. Someone described Defrag to Eric as the 'poor man's Ted'. One site, Two shows, Three days. Blur, another conference Eric runs, is about the next generation edge of human computer interaction. Think any interaction with a computer that doesn't involve a keyboard or mouse. That could be anything from robotics, 3D printing, to augmented reality - a wide range of truly futuristic technology that people are working on. For the first time ever, we're running Defrag and Blur in conjunction with each other. Practically, that means Defrag runs on the 14th & 15th and Blur runs on the 15th & 16th, where the last three or so hours of the day on the 15th, the two shows overlap. So if you're registered for Defrag only, for those three hours you'll see some Blur keynotes. Which you'll find incredibly interesting...

Our education system is ignoring a vital segment
1306_ 11/05/12 - After hearing this, you will be scratching your head and wondering what the heck is going on in education and who establishes the STEM standards. STEM is known as Science, Technology, Engineering and Math standard in education. Next, you will realize a greater appreciation for the work of our own NCWIT. This is really important! We often talk about preparing our workforce for the jobs of the future, but our education system is ignoring a vital segment and failing to prepare our young students for the jobs that are waiting for them. We are talking to Ruthe Farmer of the National Center for Women & IT. This year Ruthe is the chairperson for the Annual Computer Science Ed Week. CSEd Week designated as the second week of December to honor Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, a visionary in the field of computer science. "We're going to be doing an event in Washington DC, on the Hill, with the STEM Education Caucus on December 12th; We're getting some national attention. We've got a goal of about 7500 pledgers (We reached 3700 last year, so we're doubling every year) to demonstrate to everyone at the policy level, that parents, families, employers, want computer science education in the schools. NCWIT is a partner in the CSEd Week, along with a number of other organizations and companies, working to get computer science education into the core curricula in the K-12 space in the U.S." Go to the CSEdWeek.org website and there are a bunch of activities for everyone to get involved in, individuals, and businesses, universities everyone along the pipeline. The goal is to demonstrate a grassroots interest in computer science education to drive demand so that at the national level policy makers will understand that computer science education is important. "Most people are unaware of the fact that the bulk of high schools do not offer anything that would be considered rigorous computer science. Many schools instead are offering word-processing, using spread sheets or using PowerPoint. Not that those are bad skills but they're not computation. They're not teaching that you should be a designer of innovation. It's like taking drivers ed - it doesn't teach you to be a mechanic. We're really trying to get computer science into... Listen for much more... CSEdWeek 2012, December 9 to 15, 2012, is a highly distributed celebration of the impact of computing and the need for computer science education. CSEdWeek is a call to action to shed light on the vital importance of computer science education for all students.
