Hi everyone, I am starting this thread because I need everyone's help with coming up with some ideas. I am currently working on my Girl Scout Gold Award, (for those of you not in scouts this is the highest award you can earn which involves doing a huge project.) This is were your help comes in. My project idea is to host a day to promote women in engineering. I got the project approved and now I have to plan the event.
Here is what I have so far:
• it will be for girls entering 6th grade - 9th grade
• I am going to have my robotics team there (of course) to show them what students their age can do.
• I am also going to ask one of the local Lego to come to promote more girl to join.
• I was thinking of having a women engineer come and talk
• I want there to be lots of hands on actives like:
• building a spaghetti tower
• regotta
*this is were I really need a lot of help because I want to incorporate all kind of different engineering!!
I really want this to be a repeatable project that I can pass on to my robotics team to do in the future. I need a lot of help with this!! If you have any suggestion or ideas please post them or send them to me.
Thanks Sarah
