ENGINEERING MINI-CAMP FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Our February 2009 Camp was very successful!
On Saturday Feb. 7, 2009 137 girls from Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey spent the day participating in hands on lab activities with volunteers from Widener's School of Engineering and from the Philadelphia section of the Society of Women Engineers.
Laboratory sessions include topics such as Roller Coaster Design, Tower Building, Bridge Design, Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, Water Treatment, Programmable Robots, Soils and Foundations, Electric-Powered Lego Vehicles, Reaction Kinetics, Aerodynamics and Flight, Pavement Design with Chocolate Asphalt, and Electric Sensors.
A separate program for parents is offered as an option for parents of girls who attended the camp.
