Women are under represented in engineering career fields. The first goal of this portion of the IEEE emeritbadges.org Project will be study the methods of technology learning for girls. Then we will design age and gender appropriate material and programs to enhance technical literacy and learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options for girls. We are actively working with the Girl Scouts of the USA on this project.

This site will expand as our girl-oriented program is developed.

Here are some links to some girl-oriented programs:

• Attention, Women in Engineering: Canada Calling
  Two years ago, the number of Women in Engineering groups in IEEE
  Region 7 (Canada) was, in round figures, well, zero. Today, after a
  commitment from the region's director and the tireless efforts of some
  dedicated volunteers, Canada has nine women's groups and is on track
  for more. Find out how the region boosted its numbers at
