GIRLS RESEARCHING OUR WORLD

Activities:

NGML participated in the Girls Researching Our World (GROW) program, June 16, 2005. As a collective, we represented two departments in the College – Architectural Engineering and Mechanical /Nuclear Engineering. This four-day program invites girls entering the seventh and eighth grades to K-State. While here, they experience several science, math, and engineering events that include visits to various labs. Our two 3½ hour sessions were the longest of the entire program. And even though 3 ½ hours is a long time, the young ladies seemed to be well entertained and excited about the experiments they conducted at the NGML. After all, who wouldn’t want to watch exploding balloons and send a potato towards a target at 68 miles per hour using hair spray as the propellant?
