Can you give a little more information about what you're really hoping your daughter will see and get out of the experience? What type of engineer are you looking for? I'm a software engineer in SD with a 12 year old daughter of my own.
- niels_olson 13y agoI think she's a little young to specify which branch of engineering (medicine and architecture are also on the list) but exposure to any and all would be good. She worked through a fair chunk of Python for Kids last summer. I feel a little bad that I'm not a great teacher, but she's proud of what she learned (as evidenced by the fact that they had an intro to python in school and she housed everybody). Really, I just want her to come home with a new appreciation for the technical ability of women, and insight that learning math and science leads to something other than doing more long division by hand. And to go and make a friend would be awesome!

- niels_olson 13y agoHi Kimberly, I went through all the contacts made through this thread and my daughter seems most interested in contacting you and your daughter. If you're interested in a free lunch, my email's in my profile.
