Huffington Post: This Is What The Next Generation Of Engineers Looks Like

Posted: 09 Dec 2013 04:10 PM PST

In college and during her career, Kimberly Bryant often found herself the only black female scientist in the room. The biotech engineer founded the Bay Area non-profit Black Girls CODE in 2011 so that today's young girls will never find themselves in that position. Bryant realized that it wasn't a lack of interest in science that led to a dearth of diversity in her field; it was a lack of access. Black Girls CODE's goal is to drive access and exposure, closing the digital divide.

Black Girls CODE introduces young girls of color to computer programming, mobile app development, robotics and other STEM fields, so the girls can learn how to build the tools they want to see in the world. The non-profit is a global organization, with chapters in Oakland, Calif., Atlanta, New York and even South Africa, with expansion to eight more cities planned for next year. Every chapter targets girls of color between the ages of 7 and 17, formative years for capturing the girls' interest in STEM and building their self-confidence.

Huffington Post: Nation Laughs At LA's Definition Of 'Cold' On 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' (VIDEO)

Posted: 09 Dec 2013 04:24 PM PST

While winter brings snow and rainstorms to the rest of the nation, the only thing Los Angeles has had to endure so far is a little drizzle and a slight "cold snap."

You'd never know it, though, from the overly-dramatic weather reporting of Southern California's local news stations. The "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show compiled a video of the week's most ridiculous clips to mock LA's definition of the cold --which is anything below 70 degrees.
