If you're interested in science, tech, engineering and math (STEM) issues, a good resource to know about is the National Girls Collaborative Project*, a relatively new initiative that's serving as a national clearinghouse of public and private resources to advance the participation of girls in STEM. We need this so we don't waste resources developing the same projects all over the country (some good wheels having been invented and all that). Also, check out the WomenTech Portal, which is a new resource from the IWITTS (Inst for women in trades, tech and science) site where educators can find research-based articles and some programmatic resources on recruiting and retaining women in tech.
No, there's no real connection between basketball, girls and tech but since there's madness for the former it seemed like a more appealing title for the post. And on that note, here's the women's bracket and a chance to help girls in sports even if you don't care about the tournaments.
