Santa Clara University

Current Project

VDC draws together technical and non-technical women, and their supporters, into technology by making the connection between technology skills and the societal needs that they address. VDC participants create technology-based products that engage and build on women’s ideas, and vision. In doing so we amplify the voice and priorities of women to enrich the discussion on technology and drive technology development to the benefit of all people. With this in mind, this year's project was selected.

Current Project: This year's project is to create an RFID tag system that could be used to keep track of children in daycare. They worked with the SCU Kids On Campus.

The Santa Clara University Team for the 2004-2005 term consists of
