There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

When Casey Fiesler and Miranda Parker (Human-Centered Computing Ph.D. Program) heard about the shockingly sexist Barbie book Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer, which actually teaches girls that they can't be real engineers, the two roommates took matters into their own hands. Both had particular reasons to despise the book's message: Parker is a computer education student specializing in broadening participation in STEM-related academic programs and careers, while Fiesler is a doctoral student in human-centered computing at Georgia Tech.
