Become an engineer

Are you ready to become an engineer?

Check all that apply to you!

Still unsure?

That's okay. We would love to fill you in on all the things you want to learn. Here are some information to help you decide.

EN.G.IN is created upon the mission of promoting engineering among girls and, consequently, tackling the issue of the lack of female representation in STEM-related careers. EN.G.IN. fulfills its mission by providing the middle school girls from Berkshire county with expert lectures, successful role models, and a strong network of like-minded peers. The program also considers families and teachers of the participants a part of the mission by providing them with EN.G.IN programming and resources, which focus on supporting young women in engineering and other STEM-related careers.

For two months, between April 1st, 2021, and May 31st, 2021, the EN.G.IN program will engage middle school girls, their families, and teachers in engineering. Middle school girls will complete engineering hands-on activities, meet successful female engineers, and peers from the community. EN.G.IN will also address the lack of encouragement of girls’ interest in STEM by providing families and teachers with easily accessible resources that will help them further their daughter’s/student’s interest in STEM. The project will consist of separate sessions for girls and adults. All the participants will receive extra resources to advance their knowledge received during the program.

Participants will apply to EN.G.IN by submitting a short application. Fifty to seventy-five middle school girls from Berkshire county schools will attend all the parts of the program, practicing teamwork and forming connections with like-minded students and adult speakers. The student part of the EN.G.IN would include four bi-weekly synchronous sessions and asynchronous work in between the main sessions.

The first meeting will take place at Miss Hall’s School on the first weekend in April (April 3rd-4th). The last meeting will be on May 22, the official closing of the event. In each session, girls will learn about one of the four kinds of engineering included in the event (chemical, biomedical, aerospace, and civil engineering). Skilled female engineers from the Berkshire county will lead the session, share their experiences of being a female engineer, and conduct engaging hands-on activities that will promote girls’ interest in engineering.
