Mothers, daughters, fathers, and sons squeezed into the Center for Advanced Information Technology (CAIT) last month, and went right to work on the World Wide Web. It was "Take Our Daughters to Work Day," and assistant professor of Design, Kathi Sylva, turned the April 25 event into a class project.

Assisted by 17 students in her Visual Metaphor (Design 133B) course, Sylva introduced the young participants to what she and her students call the interactive Internet. The design students showed the group how to use html code to create a site on the World Wide Web.

Sylva, whose class has been working on computers the entire term, said the event gave her students an opportunity to teach what they have learned.

The Women's Resources and Research Center organized the "Take Our Daughters to Work" day on campus.

CAIT staff members Erica Lundmark, Jessica Mignone, and Faust Gorham assisted with the exercise.
