Getting young people excited about engineering and design

The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) is hosting an interactive webinar about the Design Squad television series. Design Squad is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) engineering reality show and multimedia campaign developed with support from NSF that "lets kids show off their smarts as they design and build working solutions for real-world clients." Aimed at middle school kids, Design Squad is now in its third season. In the NGCP webinar, you will learn about free educational resources that you can use to get kids ages nine and up excited about engineering and the design process, and get tips about how to talk to girls about engineering.

The hour-long webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Click here to register.

Mmm, now I am thinking of you as a Greek philosopher (being interested in natural philosophy, the theories and knowledge of truth), rather than a Roman/Islamic philosopher (focusing towards the practicality of natural philosophy, having things you can actually prove and show).I’ve been thinking that maybe it was a mistake for me to get into engineering, rather than get something relating to communications/linguistics in the arts…and its rare for me to actually enjoy being beaten into a bloody, whimpering pulp, but I think something is still drawing me towards earning the Iron Ring — maybe I can earn it AND do public speaking.Tally-ho, sir. Tally-ho!
