Females in Technology hosts workshops for Girl Scouts of Central Indiana
Special to the Tribune-Star
TERRE HAUTE —
Members of Females in Technology at the Indiana State University College of Technology hosted a special event for Girl Scouts of Central Indiana who were interested in technology-related careers on March 1. Troops from Indianapolis, Mooresville, Carmel, Fishers and Lafayette attended the event designed for females ranging from grades 6-12.
Workshops offered to the troops included automotive, aviation, construction, packaging and robotics. A session on technology education offered information on teaching in these career areas. The sessions, about 30 minutes long, enabled every troop the chance to explore the many aspects of technology.
Each workshop was designed to provide the 33 girls with more information about technology majors and allow them to discover that there are abundant opportunities for females in technical career fields. FiT members not only offered the girls more information on their majors but also gave them a female perspective of being in a field that is predominantly male.
“I was glad to have an opportunity to educate young girls and their mothers about women in the construction industry and especially to address issues of stereotypes,” said Jennifer Hale, senior manufacturing/construction technology major from Terre Haute and the president-elect of FiT.
Each workshop provided a hands-on activity to show the girls something they would experience every day in their major.
Participating Girl Scouts earned credit for the interest project Build a Better Future.
