Re: Be a Nerd Girl

I work with Karen Panetta (she runs the IEEE Women in Engineering magazine) and have met some of the original Nerd Girls. Assuming this new reality show follows the same formula as the original program at Tufts, the show casts college-aged female engineers, but the audience is middle or high school students. The types of projects the Nerd Girls work on require at least some basic college-level engineering education, so I'm guessing that's the motivation for the age range.

I definitely encourage anyone who's interested to apply! I think this would be a blast!
