Exposing RE Girls to Technology & Engineering

Our first day of camp at Georgia Tech was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. We went to see a chemical engineer that taught us how to make gel. Mykia and I were partners, we mixed water and other chemicals to make something that turned out like jell-o. Then we went to a nail polish station and designed our own colors. We also visited an airspace station and learned how airplanes fly.

When I first started camp I was a little worried because I’m not use to going to camp. But I was wrong, on my first day I had a blast! I made new friends and participated in interesting classes. We also visited a lab where we watched cells grow. Then we went to a class where we learned how to style and make websites. Most of our classes were about engineering, bioengineering and aerospace engineering. Can’t wait til Thursday when we will go back to the lab to see how our cells are growing.

I made new friends and learned about the many types of engineering like civil, chemical, industrial and many more. We made cells grow and mixed nail polish and learned about building websites. Can’t wait til tomorrow, we get to go swimming at the huge pool on Georgia Tech’s campus.

Raising Expectations @ 11 Alive News

Wow! When I went to 11 Alive I had a tremendous time. The people there were so nice to us. While at the station we got to be on the news and we got to see what the different types of jobs were behind the scenes. We got to speak with sports anchor Sam Crenshaw and the operations manager Kevin Johnson who told us in order to get a job we had to always be on time. Being late at a tv studio means that we can't watch tv at home. He said being on time is important because if we are late we will get left behind and life is too short for a slow start. His advice meant a lot to me and I know an important part to getting a great job and being successful is being on time in everything I do. I'm grateful to Raising Expectations for setting up this fieldtrip and helping me learn some important things about future jobs.
