A perfect opportunity to wear this shirt, complete with Lego earrings! Also, I saw this post from a Women in STEM page on FB, I think that the second girl kind of looks like me haha!
There's a big push for STEM to become STEAM. Adding Art into the equation. A lot of people view engineering as a very left-brained activity. But I've always thought engineering is a very creative field. I think that the best engineers are those that think outside the box and are willing to view problems from different angles. So I'm glad they're adding art/design into the mix because I think they work harmoniously together. And by adding art/design you're pulling people into the technical fields that normally wouldn't be drawn to them.

What a fun night. I think ill suggest something like that to our school
How fun!
I totally agree about engineering being not just a left-brained activity. It takes a lot of creativity and imagination to understand how to apply principles and create something new.
