Introduction
The Women in Engineering Summer Program was back in person this year, giving high school students the chance to learn about engineering through hands-on projects, like designing wearable technologies for shoes using the Arduino platform. Participants have the opportunity to work with world-renowned professors, meet engineering students, make new friends, and earn a stipend.
