Support for K-12 female students to attend ICASSP-2005

Drs。B. Popescu和J. Kovacevic以及A.P. Petropulu在ICASSP 2005上组织了一个主题为“信号处理中的女性”的小组讨论。我们建议邀请一组本地的年轻女孩（K-12）参加小组讨论。我们觉得这将是一个很好的设置，让年轻女孩接触到信号处理领域，并结识在该领域取得事业的女性。小组成员将在小组开始前与女孩和她们的老师见面，并与他们讨论信号处理及其在日常生活中的应用。我们将与费城地区的学校取得联系，邀请一组女孩和她们的老师。所要求的金额将用于支付与会者的食物，交通费，以及帮助组织这项工作的教师的酬金。”

Drs. B. Popescu and J. Kovacevic, and A.P. Petropulu have organized a panel with topic 'Women in Signal Processing', to take place at ICASSP 2005. We propose to invite a group of local young girls (K-12) to attend the panel. We feel that this would be a nice setup for young girls to be exposed to the field of Signal Processing and meet women who have made careers in this field. Panel members will meet with the girls and their teachers before the panel and talk to them about signal processing and its applications in everyday life.We will get in touch with schools in the Philadelphia area and invite a group of girls and their teachers. The requested amount will cover food for the attendees, transportation expenses, a honorarium for the teachers who will help organize the effort."
