An Introduction to Engineering…No Boys Allowed!
“They filled out the application, we crossed our fingers and waited,” Karoline Sharp reflects on the excitement of a BIG opportunity for some of her female students. It all started when she received an interesting email from Argonne National Laboratory. They were hosting a special day dedicated to girls that might be interested in engineering. Karoline Sharp immediately thought of three female students who show a great appreciation and talent for STEM. She encouraged them to apply. And the wait began…
Well, the news is in! All three girls have received a letter of acceptance! Sharp is incredibly excited for her students. They are all very anxious for the day to arrive!
The program offers female students a unique opportunity. Participants will enjoy motivational speakers, engage in hands-on engineering experiments, and participate in team challenges. “These girls SO enjoy science. I’m sure they are as psyched as I am,” Sharp adds. The big day is Thursday, February 26th. Can’t wait to hear more about it!
