engineering-girls@uva
The Engineering-Girls@UVA program builds on the success of the Bio-Med Tech-Girls program. The UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science is leading this unique collaboration between Charlottesville Women in Tech, Tech-Girls and the School of Education and Human Development to provide a variety of immersive engineering experiences. This summer the program will offer two engineering tracks to explore: Biomedical Engineering and Civil and Environmental Engineering with more tracks coming in future years. Programming for the Engineering-Girls@UVA will continue to include hands-on engineering activities, community building, lab tours, guest speakers, and student panel discussions for young women in high school, so they can be inspired by the variety of opportunities to study and work in engineering.
