Future engineer, here!

Rosie's Girls is a group in Richmond, CA that encourages young girls to pursue traditionally male-dominated fields of study. Every year, at the end of the summer program, the organizers (Rosie the Riveter National Park) bring in a group of women in diverse fields to share their experiences with these teenagers. There are welders, doctors, electricians, rocket scientists, urban planners, construction workers, plumbers, police officers, and more. I get to talk about mechanical engineering and robotics!

This year, I brought in the uBox, and had the parts all on the table.  I had one put together to look at, but let the girls figure out how to put it together like a puzzle.



This girl got it right on the first try! With such spatial skills, she would make a great engineer.
