The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is committed to making engineering open to all who want to shape the future.
That’s why we launched EngineerGirl in 2001, to show girls the exciting possibilities in engineering. Now, with EngineerTeen, we’re reaching even more young people, offering inspiration, information, and a nationwide community to support their journey.
Engineering fuels innovation, and tomorrow’s breakthroughs depend on the talent of today’s teens. EngineerTeen helps make that possible by connecting teens with the people and resources that can guide them toward a bright future in engineering.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, because images often tell an entire story. Visual thinking is an important part of engineering design, so this year we are trying something new with the EngineerGirl Writing Contest.
