Millennium Fellowship Project: Girls in Engineering
We were inspired to start Girls in Engineering (GIE) when reflecting upon the lack of engineering experiences given to K-12 students at Georgia Tech. With the challenges in transitioning from high school classes to studying engineering in college, we sought to create a program where high schoolers could learn about the engineering process early on. From the program, we hope to increase the number of women pursuing engineering degrees and careers.
