Soars: Engineering and Aeronautics
Splash Soars teaches girls the scientific principles of
flight and gives them the opportunity to apply these principles
while taking control of a glider in flight. Thirty 8th grade
girls learned the principles of aerodynamics in Summer Science
Splash, a four-week science program held at Seattle University.
Instructors from the Society of Women Engineers guided the
Splash lab experiments and were on hand to share in the
girls' extraordinary experience of taking control of a glider
in flight under the guidance of a certified pilot.

Fair Play: Design & Discovery
Girls entering the 7th - 10th grades explore design and
engineering concepts during this interactive two-week day
camp in Oregon, and an optional six-month mentorship. During
the camp girls meet and work with engineers, designers,
and researchers, and complete an independent project for
presentation in a Solutions Showcase at the end of the camp.
Girls may then sign up for the optional six-month mentorship
with a professional engineer during which they complete
a project and present it at a Mini Engineering Fair and
are supported in entering projects in the Northwest Science
Expo.
