Autodesk: Design Your Future

Design Your Future is an excellent program that encourages young women in middle and high school to pursue careers in math, science, and technology. It has extensive information that will answer many common questions and make technical fields seem more accessible, and even fun. There are many bios of working women, which describe the daily activities and challenges involved in their jobs. A lot of college advice is also provided on the site, including tips to help choose a career, find the right school, get financial aid, and apply. There is a special feature of the Web site that connects female Autodesk employees with girls to start a mentoring program; however, the registration process for this is not well outlined.
