GEORGIA POWER ICAN ENGINEERING GIRLS EMPOWERMENT
Mundy’s Mill Middle School recently hosted the iCan Girls in Engineering Georgia after-school session to introduce girls to engineering. This workshop was created by the partnership of Atlanta Gas Light, Georgia Power, Milhouse Engineering & Construction, and Milhouse Charities to engage and bring awareness to the next generation of problem solvers.
During the workshop, participants learned the foundation of the Engineering Design Process and applied that knowledge to construct mobile phone stands from popsicle sticks. The event was a resounding success, with students enjoying the hands-on experience and leaving the event inspired and anxiously awaiting the forthcoming workshop in May. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Pitts for supporting this initiative and commend iCan Girls in Engineering Georgia for their commitment to making a positive impact and creating awareness and equity for girls in engineering.
