A computer science summer program for girls that my cousin informed me of.
Don't know if this is a high quality program, but perhaps you have specific
students in mind.
Thanks,
Steve

>>The Women's Technology Program at MIT is a 4-week summer
>>residence program to introduce high school girls to electrical
>>engineering and computer science. If you know a girl who is
>>currently a high school junior with demonstrated math and
>>science ability and an interest in finding out about EECS, please
>>encourage her to visit our website for more information and for
>>an application form (applications are due February 3, 2004):
>>http://wtp.mit.edu
>>
>>Our classes are taught in a supportive environment by a staff of
>>women MIT PhD candidates and undergraduates. The full-time
>>academic program includes hands-on experiments and
>>team-based projects in computer science, electrical
>>engineering, and mathematics.
>>
>>Our goals are to:
>>* increase girls' interest and confidence in pursuing computer
>>science and engineering and
>>* make them aware of their potential for success in these fields
>>
>>Participants are selected from a nationwide applicant pool of
>>girls who attend the program in the summer between their junior
>>and senior year in high school. No prior experience in computer
>>programming, physics, or electrical engineering is expected, but
>>applicants typically have strong academic records, especially in
>>math and science.
>>
>>Thank you for your help in communicating information about this
>>opportunity to girls across the country!
