energizing girls towards engineering careers....

The IEEE GirlsGoEngineering.org Project is a pre-university education and career preparation program of the IEEE.  The project addresses the issue of women being under represented in engineering career fields.  The project team studied the methods of technology learning for girls. They are now designing age and gender appropriate material and programs to enhance technical literacy.   They are also developing material to help girls learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options.  The project was introduced at the 2008 Girl Scout National Council Session/51st Convention in Indianapolis, IN, USA.

IEEE GirlsGoEngineering.org will provide girls, educators, and adult leaders with programs, activities, material, and web resources to:

• Develop in girls an appreciation for engineering principles.
• Enable girls to learn to enjoy engineering practices.
• Energize girls towards careers in engineering, mathematics, and the physical sciences
