Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day
This past Tuesday a group of aspiring 8th grade students participated in Exxon Mobil's Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day. Exxon Mobil graciously provided volunteers to assist some of our 8th grade girls in exploring possibilities of choosing research and engineering as exciting and fulfulling career choices. Lab experiments were conducted during this event in one of our state of the art science labs. Ms. Theresa Lardieri (8th Grade Science) and Mr. Matt Hall (Supervisor of Science) led efforts to make this special day a possiblity. The volunteers consisted of chemists, biologists, research technicians and chemical engineers.
During the morning long session students were exposed to many aspects related to the field of engineering including what is an engineer, achievements, inventions by women, fields of study and resources available to pursue a career. Approximately twenty five students were involved in the experiments and gained great insight
