Girls Accelerate in Engineering
It's no secret that the majority of students seeking a degree in engineering are men. But we are trying to shift that trend. Every fall, we mail out postcards to all the 8th grade girls headlined "You Go Girl!" within the Olathe School District encouraging them to consider all of the possibilities in the science and technology field through Olathe Northwest High School's Aerospace and Engineering program. Girls participating within our youth programs are encouraged to have active roles and become leaders.
