Launch a Similar Program in Your Office - "Mind the Gap" Program You can easily launch your own program in order to scale this initiative or a similar one. All you need is a few enthusiastic individuals who are willing to dedicate a few hours a month. Planning: Determine date(s) and time for the school visits. Recruit volunteers to host the students (select a program manager if planning multiple visits per year). Reserve conference room for each visit. Presentation: Create a presentation that discusses current technology and your company's contribution/products/services. We like to use ones that show computer science applications in our day to day lives, or one that explains how search engines work. Panel: The goal of the panel is to introduce the girls to role models. 2-3 female engineers introduce themselves and answer questions from the audience. Some sample panel questions are below: Introduce yourself (e.g., name, role, background) What project did you work on that had a strong impact?

Measurement Word Problems In this lesson, students will solve different types of word problems. Distance word problems will involve converting metric units (for example, centimeters to meters). Time word problems will involve elapsed time (for example, how much time has gone by between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm?). Mass word problems will involve converting mass units (for example, grams to kilograms). Learning Outcomes After this lesson your child will be able to: Convert between metric units of distance measurement Find elapsed time Convert between metric units of mass Warm Up Work through the warm up section below with your children and then try the worksheet before moving on to the main part of the lesson. Distance tells you how far apart objects are and is measured in metric units. Converting metric distances The chart below shows you common metric conversions. Elapsed Time The chart below shows you common time conversions Solving Elapsed Time Problems Break the problem into workable part Add minutes to get to a whole hour
Mind the Gap: Encouraging women to study engineering Women make up more than half the global population, but hold fewer than a third of the world’s engineering jobs. In the U.S., female students comprise fewer than 15 percent of all Advanced Placement computer science test takers. Even in high-tech Israel, few girls choose computer science. Not only is this a loss to companies like Google and everyone who benefits from a continually developing web; it's also a lost opportunity for girls. Beginning in 2008, a group of female engineers at Google in Israel decided to tackle this problem. Since we started this program over three years ago, we’ve hosted more than 1,100 teenage girls at our office, and an additional 1,400 girls at three annual conferences held in leading universities. The results are encouraging. We encourage people in other countries, at other companies and in other scientific disciplines to see how they could replicate this program.
The eClock - Learn all about time - Interactive Clock Digital On/Off Words On/Off Roman/Arabic To rotate the hands on the interactive e-Clock, move the cursor over the clock face, press the left mouse button down and move the mouse. Rotate the mouse clockwise around the centere of the e-Clock to move the time forward and move the mouse in an anticlockwise direction around the center of the eClock. to move time backwards. Notes Our lives are organised around the concept of time; it is an common reference point for us all in modern life. Analogue Clock The analogue clock is the main display that appears. Digital Clock The digital display is initially hidden but can be revealed by clicking on the DIGITAL ON/OFF button on the menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Words and numbers As well as the interactive analogue and digital displays, the time can also be displayed as words.
