On a recent August afternoon, 30 adolescent girls sat captivated in aconference room at IBM's Watson Research Center in Cambridge, Mass.Wide-eyed, they watched a scientist from M.I.T. (MassachusettesInstitute of Technology) dip a pink carnation into a vat of liquidnitrogen, and then shatter the frozen flower against the side of a tank.
"Whoa!" said the girls, in unison.
"Liquid Nitrogen is Cool!" was one of several activities at thisyear's EX.I.T.E. (Exploring Interests in Technology and Engineering)program, IBM's week-long day camp for seventh and eighth grade girls.This year, IBM hosted 53 EX.I.T.E. programs worldwide, 16 in NorthAmerica.
