Bridging the Gap: Bridge Placement in
Environmental Areas
The girls will site and assemble a bridge in
a "creek corridor" through a hands-on
activity, and learn about the balance
between costs to the public and
environmental impacts when determining where
to build a bridge. |

Electricity 101
Learn how to wire a light! Participants
learn as Oregon Tradeswomen, Inc. sheds some
light on the basic concepts of how
electricity works while gaining hands-on
experience wiring a real light. Each

wire, use wire nuts and run wire from a
switch to a socket. Participants will have
the opportunity to plug in their creation,
flip their switch and see electricity in
action.
A truly enlightening experience! |

Material Properties
Materials engineers differentiate and

properties. They use this information to
determine which materials are best suited
for certain structures and devices. In this
workshop, we get to break things! We will
focus on one material property, strength.
We will test the strength of different types
of paper. Is all paper created equal? Why
might different paper need different
properties? |

Saving the Earth, one kid at a time
My discussion will cover: What a great job I
have, and the importance of education in
being able to get jobs that you love. How
important waste reduction and conservation
are and how equally important it is that we
get kids on board as future leaders. The
role of marketing and advertising in our
culture's excessive consumerism, especially
how they bombard our kids.
Other elements: I start off by having the
students take a short quiz that will make
them curious about the answers I'll provide
later. I'll show a short, hip video on
advertising and consumption. My style is
very interactive in that I ask lots of
questions and want students to participate
in discussion. |
