On April 11, more than 60 female high school students from the NYC metro area will attend Discover Engineering, an event hosted by the Grove School of Engineering at the City College of New York. Attendees will be immersed in the world of engineering and the exciting possibilities it offers as a career.

During the event, which is offered in partnership with (YWIB), attendees will be engaged in lively discussions and activities demonstrating the many ways engineers are helping to meet the great challenges of our times.

The young women will spend time with Grove School and Zahn Innovation Center students who will showcase their current projects. They’ll also learn about the cutting edge research being done at City College in a range of fields from energy and sustainability nanotechnology, and materials engineering to transportation and remote sensing. And about the full compliment of engineering degrees offered by the Grove School.

“Exposure is fundamental to sparking that life-long interest and passion in the STEM fields,” says Gilda Barabino, dean and Berg Professor in the Grove School of Engineering. “And we are thrilled to partner with YWIB to do so for these young women.”
