Seo Master present to you:
By Scott Knaster, Google Developers Blog EditorTo build the future of technology, we need people from every community to join in, which is why we have programs like
Women Techmakers. To help get more girls interested in technology careers,
Women Techmakers and the
Computer Science on Air programs have started a
series of hangouts with women engineers at Google.
We think it’s cool and incredibly powerful for kids who are interested in a career in tech to get to look at a video of professionals and say "Hey, that looks like me!".
Once you start working in science and technology, you never know where it will lead you, from the far reaches of the galaxy to the bare ground. For example, a new study demonstrates, incredibly, that some insects use the stars for navigation. As a part of this study, scientists placed
dung beetles in a darkened planetarium, and found the creatures were no longer able to move in a steady, straight line. But when the researchers turned on the Milky Way display in the planetarium, the beetles could crawl along in direct paths. Cosmic.
As you ponder the meaning of insects using astral navigation this weekend, hook the laptop up to your TV and tune in to
Google Developers Live on
Sunday evening. Lay back on the sofa and check out live demos from the
LA Video Hackathon to see what other developers are doing with YouTube and Google TV, and join in by posting comments tagged with #ythackla. (Of course, if you already have Google TV, you won’t need to get up from the sofa to turn off a screensaver.)
We publish a Fridaygram each week with all sorts of cool, fun, and downright nerdy stuff. We like our Fridaygrams to range wide, like all the way from Women Techmakers to starry-eyed beetles.
