“Wow, I was so excited when I got my potato to
light up!” exclaimed one preteen girl after finishing a recent
workshop led by Berkeley Engineering students. Her enthusiasm was exactly
what ME/MSE sophomore Ting Ting Chen and IEOR senior Cathleen Vasquez
hoped to generate.
The two were part of a contingent of Berkeley women who led two engineering-related
workshops at the Expanding Your Horizons Conference on March 17. The annual
conference (one of many held across the country) provides local middle school
girls with an opportunity to participate in fun, hands-on math and science
projects led by role models like Chen and Vasquez. The goal is to encourage
the girls’ interests in these fields with the hope that they’ll
pursue careers in them. [FULL STORY]
