Christian Brothers University - Hosts "Society of Women Engineers" for Girl Scouts

On Saturday, October 17th, several Girl Scouts had the opportunity to visit Christian Brother's University. While they were there the "Society of Women Engineers" taught the girls about different fields in the engineering. They got to build simple motors, and design their very own gliders. This program is usually for high school students, but our fifth through middle school girls grasp the concept and ran with it. The instructors were amazed at their thoughts and concepts far surpassed what they typically see from high school students. WAY TO GO Girl Scouts!!!
