Taking Flight: How Girls Can Grow up to Be Engineers - Get Your Ideas Off the Ground
Do you like solving problems, working with other people, and making a difference? Consider a career in engineering! NASA engineers may help build a spacecraft to shoot through our solar system or soar above our home planet, or they may fly a helicopter above Mars. April is the month of Ingenuity—when the Mars Helicopter will attempt its first flight. In our three-part series of live webinars, meet some female engineers working on the helicopter at NASA/JPL, who will explain how they got their start, share useful tips, and take audience questions.
Each episode will include a brief helicopter update, then focus on a specific career planning topic--including how to get into engineering, and the benefits of internships, camps, and clubs.
All webinars start at 1 p.m. PDT/4 p.m. EDT.
