The Road to Macworld isn’t just about adults. Jean MacDonald, the newly minted Executive Director for App Camp For Girls, talks about the App Camp for Girls Open House at the show and why, even though it is on the conference track, it is open to all attendees. While they can’t pack the full camp experience into one session, Jean explains how girls will be able to participate in representative activities, how they hope to raise awareness and generate excitement, and why even boys will be welcome.
