STEPS for Girls at Stout

In 2006 I visited the S.T.E.P.S. program which is a summer camp for girls to get them excited about engineering and science. At the time they were building a radio control sailplane as a manufacturing process.

The need for women into engineering is a pressing need specially there is a dearth of participation of women into engineering at a time ,inflrastrucutre need to be built I have studied with women engineers in 1967 and had the previledge of tutoring women students in the engineering faculty including the one who now a President of a well renown university in canada. Good luck with your well deserved programme,not necessarily building air planes but civil,environental engineering as well.

Thanks for taking time for looking at this and for your reply. It is amazing how a week in a program like this can change a life. If you find time, check out my other videos as well.

This is a great Idea, I really dont know why more girls are not into engineering and rc :) my Father got me involved in Model Aviation at the age of about 13 and i never left it, Why, its so much fun :) i have worked as a operating engineer and robotics tech. see what RC Airplanes have done for me :) take Care, Chellie
