WGBH with the National National Academy of Engineering has launched a program to get more girls interested in engineering through a website called Engineer Your Life. With the President’s recent STEM initiative, this web site is exactly what we need to show high school aged girls why engineering is a cool, creative and rewarding career.
It’s no secret that girls are not well represented in fields of science and engineering. This has been attributed to a lack of encouragement and a lack of role models. The Engineering Your Life website gives high school girls a look into the world of engineering by introducing them to women doing great things with engineering.
If your daughter is looking for a fun, challenging and rewarding career, then show her this web site Engineering Your Life
There is also a website for Middle School girls called Engineer Girl which has fun facts and design contests with cash prizes.
