"Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" Set for 2/23/12

As part of National Engineers' Week, Thursday, 23 February 2012, is set as "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day."  The event, in its 11th year, is designed to show girls how collaborative and creative the engineering profession can be.  Many events are scheduled nationwide to commemorate the day, and materials are available for local celebrations.  For more details, visit http://www.eweek.org/EngineersWeek/Introduce.aspx

Update on 2/27/12:  Jim Haynes, Project Lead the Way teacher at Highland HS in Palmdale, welcomed 59 young women who visited his five pre-engineering classes on 23 February as part of the "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Class" day.  This follows participation by approximately 20 young ladies included in the AV Higher Education Symposium engineering and "Focus Your Future" panels held on 11 February 2012 at the AVROP Center for Career Technical Education.
