VIDEO

“I Can Do That”
Tracy Casper Lang (executive producer, director, editor) and Maude Brickner ’84 (executive producer, producer)

An educational video for school-age girls that aims to expand their notions of possible careers. Writes Brickner:

“The video introduces girls to eight women in a range of careers with an emphasis on jobs involving math, science, and technology. The video enables girls not only to hear about and see the women doing their jobs, but also to hear how these women came to have the careers they do, and what educational and early community and work experiences led them to their careers.”

Careers represented include nuclear physicist, Website designer, information consultant, actuary, AIDS researcher, electrical contractor, construction business owner, and architect.

The video was to be distributed free of charge to more than 3,000 educational facilities across the country, beginning in April. Each copy of the video comes with a resource guide to help educators and parents discuss the video with young viewers. Copies of the video and guide are also available for sale.
