We just wanted to inform everyone about an exciting new program that is taking place at
Ramp Riot 2008 this year.
It is called,
“Girls in Gear” and is a program designed just for the Girl Scouts of America and approved by the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. Girls will have a chance to learn about
high tech careers,
engineering concepts and will also have the chance to
drive a competition robot in a supervised setting.
Participating girls will receive a
specially designed event patch, as well as other gifts. Area GSA troops and individual Girl Scouts will be participating in this exciting new program.
We currently have 20 scouts with a limit of 100.
We are currently seeking :
1) Role model women, in scientific or technological careers, to speak to the Girl Scouts about careers in these fields.
2) Girls on current FRC or FTC teams to act as tour guides or demonstrators.3) Help to advertise this event to Girl Scouts through any appropriate GSA contact network that is available. (event flyer is attached)
If you can help, please reply to
341robotics@gmail.com or use the contact information on the attached flyer. The program will run on November 8th at Wissahickon HS between the hours of 9:30 and 11:30 AM.
Help us to inspire a generation of girls to be excited about Math, Science, and Technology.
Thank you for your support.
