Four year full ride scholarships for new entering freshmen in the Fall of 2019 who want to pursue their education in a STEM field. The National Academy of Engineering is delighted to announce this year’s annual EngineerGirl Writing Contest: Stories Engineered to Inspire. This is an opportunity for students in grades 3-12 to learn more about engineering and win cash prizes (up to $500).
This year, for the first time, the EngineerGirl writing contest is asking students to submit works of creative fiction that celebrate engineering design and creative problem solving. As the contest description on the EngineerGirl website describes, we’re looking for stories about women and girls saving the day with their wits, skill, and whatever resources they can find to solve the problem. We want stories that inspire EngineerGirl readers to think, “I want to be able to do that” or “I can do that.” We have also included the following additional resources that we hope will make it easier for students to make the most of this opportunity and stimulate engagement in engineering. Special Note to Educators Tips for Class Projects Contest Flyer Thousands of students, both boys and girls, have submitted essays to the contest over the years, with winners earning monetary prizes and the honor of having their writing published on the EngineerGirl website. The contest can be an opportunity for out-of-school work, or it can be part of a classroom project. There have been some wonderful winning submissions in past contests, and we are certain this year will be no exception. The entry deadline for the 2019 contest is February 1, 2019. If you have questions or would like to know more, we would be delighted to hear from you! Best, The EngineerGirl Team EngineerGirl@nae.edu Write an original and creative essay that demonstrates an understanding of political courage as described by John F. Kennedy in Profiles in Courage. High School students in grades 9 – 12 are eligible. First place award: $10,000, Second place: $3,000, Five finalists: $1,000 each. For contest information, registration, and to submit your essay, visit the Profile in Courage Essay Contest at www.JFKLibrary.org/essaycontest. Deadline: January 18.
We are excited to announce that we will have job shadowing for students again this year in partnership with the DOL and our Career Advisor Aly Salguero! Mrs. Salguero will be available to meet with students by drop-in on Wednesdays during lunch. Applications are available now in Counseling for students to complete. Most shadows require students to be 16 years old at the time of the shadow, but younger students are welcome to come and chat with Mrs. Salguero about opportunities in the future.
