Welcome
all parents to WIEO.org! Most likely, one of your concerns is that
your daughter or daughters receive a well-rounded education. Sometimes,
in addition to school, it's a good idea to involve your children in
other educational activities. WIEO.org! is the place to find such educational
activities.
Engineering programs are being run throughout the country to get
more girls interested in the field. Use WIEO to
Find Programs in Your Area. First, however, you might want to
learn more about what engineers do and how much fun they can have
doing their job. What is Engineering, located
in the upper menu bar, will get you acquainted with the field. Find
out how you can Get Involved in getting
girls more interested in engineering and learn about Contests
/ Challenges that are running throughout the country and how to
get your daughters involved. Also, for those of you whose daughters
are starting the college process, browse through the section on Scholarships.
Get on-line with other parents to discuss issues or ask questions
on the
Discussion Board and please feel free to visit the discussion
boards of other groups like girls or K-12 teachers to pose questions
to or find out information from them. Don't forget to browse through
the Reading Room for books or articles
to help get you acquainted with the world of engineering, what your
daughters can expect from entering into the field, as well as books
on gender issues.
WIEO has also provided a list of helpful
Links as well as a section on Games
that will show your daughters how much fun being an engineer can be
and perhaps provide you with a few hours of amusement. If the above
is not enough to convince you why engineering is a good choice for
your daughters, find out more in Why Choose Engineering
in the upper menu bar.
