Westinghouse Electric ‘Introduce a Girl to Engineering’

  • Chicago Defender Newsroom

 

GIRL ENGINEERS—Obama Academy High School students from right, Sabria Davis, 16, and Amina Newsome, 16, ready some zirconium rods for a demonstration inside Westinghouse Electric Company’s Churchill site during the “Introduce a Girl to Engineering” event recently. Introduce a Girl to Engineering, now in its 14th year, exposes high school girls to engineering careers and gives them a glimpse of what a day in the life of an engineer is really like. Westinghouse’s Cranberry and Churchill facilities recently completed two separate sessions, with a third planned for November in Madison, Pa. In just this year alone, 62 students and 19 school districts have toured working labs and conducted hands-on experiments to learn more about engineering applications within Westinghouse.
