Capitol Hill Briefing
Watch the Girl Day Capitol Hill briefing, a panel of young women and professional engineers discuss ways to engage girls in engineering.
Beginning on March 6, AIChE members can find volunteer opportunities in DiscoverE’s month-long Global Marathon to inspire women in engineering and technology. The Marathon culminates on April 3 with the Global Day of the Engineer.
AIChE members who want to participate in AIChE’s own K–12 activities —including the launch of a new K–12 Committee —should write to K12Outreach@aiche.org.
