The newly formed Tri-State Women in Computing and Engineering (TWICE) is currently accepting registration for The Beauty of Engineering, a half-day workshop for girls in grades four through eight.
The workshop will take place Saturday, March 10 on the University of Evansville campus. Check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m. in the south lobby of the Koch Center for Engineering and Science, and the event will end at approximately 11:15 a.m. The cost is $6 per participant, and registration is open to individuals and organizations that wish to bring a group.
The Beauty of Engineering is an opportunity for girls to learn about engineering and computer science by rotating through four stations, each staffed by female professionals in the fields. Each station will feature a lesson and hands-on exercise such as circuitry, building and testing catapults, and online computer programming.
Pre-registration is required. Forms and information are available at the TWICE website under “Upcoming Events.†Deadline for pre-registration is Friday, March 2.
TWICE is made possible by a grant from the Alcoa Foundation in partnership with the University of Evansville College of Engineering and Computer Science. The organization’s goal is to bring women engineers and computer scientists from Tri-State area business and industry together to form a network through which these women can make a difference in their lives, the lives of their community members, young people, and industry.
How Wonderful. BEAUTIFUL. Congrats to all who are doing this program. The need is GREAT for Engineering Graduates. In the USA the need is for Engineering, Science, Math, and Technology. I hear about this every day of the work week. I hope some Donors will help with Scholarships and have even more Little Ladies attend that will help change their lives. Engineer jobs go vacant for the lack of Graduates in the USA. Congrats! for all who are helping make this happen.
