EngineerGirl! Chosen from LHS 6th Grade

Congratulations to Echo Mann of LHS as she has been chosen to participate in the EngineerGirl! Girls’ Advisory Board.   She is one of approximately 150 girls on the board representing 30 different states.  Eleven years ago, the EngineerGirl! website (www.engineergirl.edu) was developed by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) with input and recommendations from a panel of girls living across the United States and Canada (The EngineerGirl! Girls Advisory Board).  The NAE is currently redesigning the EngineerGirl! website and reinstating the Girl’s Advisory Board to get input on making our site more effective and interactive.  Echo will take part in one to three web-based conference calls to examine the layout of the website and provide us with comments based on their preferences. Additionally, Echo may participate in events that are structured to give feedback about girls’ preferences and will provide her with opportunities to explore engineering careers (such as online chats with professional engineers).  Echo will receive special notice of engineering-related opportunities that may appeal to them and would be invited to continue to engage with the EngineerGirl! community throughout her high-school years. 
All students were directly nominated by their teachers as good candidates for the board.  They were chosen both for their leadership abilities as well as for the potential to benefit from interaction with girls across the country in discussions about engineering.
