Engineering organization brings Girl Guides to Queen's University campus

This article describes an "Engineering Explorers Girl Guide Day" held in Kingston, and sponsored by the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) organization. (Ideally, Link members on university campuses would be able to partner with such groups to promote such events for girls in Guiding).

"The unfamiliar chatter of young girls echoed through the halls of Beamish-Munro Hall on Saturday. About 100 girls, aged 9 to 11, participated in the first ever Engineering Explorers Girl Guide Day, organized by Women in Science and Engineering (WISE).
The girls took part in a myriad of activities related to science and engineering.
“We’re hoping to introduce science and engineering in a way that’s fun for the girls,” said Marnie Ham, Ph.D ’06, who organized the event."
