| Description: | CWIT's "You Can Be Anything" video uses the power of media to give young people, particularly girls and young women, a very positive impression of the career opportunities available in information technology (IT) and science-related fields where technology plays a major role. This short, fast-paced, high-quality video uses the techniques of music videos to portray a wide variety of women, both past and present, using technology in a variety of fields. Of course, no short video, no matter how skillfully conceived and executed, is likely by itself to persuade young women to prepare for a high-tech career. The video may be used together with a speaker from a speaker’s bureau or with a teacher or school counselor as part of their career exploration program for middle and/or high school students. For teachers or counselors there is a lesson plan, a student worksheet, and presentation materials, plus guidelines on how to use the materials and an actual video demonstration to highlight the lesson plan in action. |
