Emily Completes Program!

I had a great opportunity with Emily this morning to go to BAE to receive her certificate of participation in Women in Technology program. Emily and I got to participate in an interview about the program that will be used to open up this program to other BAE sites. Emily gave an awesome interview. At lunch we had the privilege of sitting and talking to a man that helps recruit college grads for engineers. He had some great advice for the three girls from Osbourn High. He was very interesting to listen to. The program was great we heard from the Vice president of the company. He talked about the CEO of the company who is a woman and how she became an engineer when engineering was a man only field. He talked about how diversity in the field makes it better. The 12 girls who attended this 9 week course presented with their groups a skit or song about some of the things they learned. It was informative and entertaining. They also received a disk with pictures as they did different activities. Emily's favorite thing she learned was soldering. She made a Simon game by putting together (soldering ) different electronic parts. I'm so glad she took part in this program.
