The Techno Jays Robotics Team plans to host an engineering awareness program for eighth grade girls on Jan. 16 at Southfield High from noon to 5 p.m.
The program is called S.H.O.P, which stands for Southfield High Outreach Program.
The students will tour Southfield High School’s engineering academy, talk to actual female engineers, and get some hands on engineering experience.
So far, some 30 girls have registered to attend, according to senior Rachel Walker.
The goal of the program is to spark interest in science, technology, engineering and math in the younger generation, said senior Walker.
Senior Kolbe Bright, who is on the Robotics team, says he thinks it’s a good event for young kids to get exposed to the world of technology and engineering.
