激励! 资源:教育!
教育! 什么是工程师? Perspectives of Trailblazing Women Engineers is part of the 激励! Educational 视频采集, based on Dr. 劳拉Ettinger’s game-changing work for the National Science Foundation that captures the essence of trailblazing American women in engineering, and aims to inspire middle school and early high school students to pursue the STEM fields.
At 3 minutes and 55 seconds running time, it is a short and poignant tool for all audiences, explaining what engineering is and debunking myths about the field, as well as providing the opportunity for important discussions on topics such as exploring engineering as a career, skills and qualities that engineers possess and how engineers impact our world.
Discussion prompts are included here for teachers, 辅导员, 童军领袖, parents and others to use with middle school and early high school students to accompany this video.

esball国际平台客户端INSPIRE! Educational 视频采集
激励! is a collection of three educational videos with accompanying discussion prompts that will empower middle school and early high school girls with the tools to overcome obstacles facing girls and women in STEM fields, such as a lack of confidence and discouragement from others. 其中一个视频， 教育! 什么是工程师? Perspectives of Trailblazing Women Engineers, would be appropriate for use with young people regardless of their gender identification.
Each video features inspiring, real stories told by accomplished women engineers that contextualize and examine hurdles that girls and young women may face in the engineering field and offer strategies to overcome those hurdles. As we hear these stories, we see trailblazing women engineers serving as mentors and role models for the next generation of girls, who embrace the excitement of an engineering education within the context of a STEAM summer camp at esball国际平台客户端, a nationally recognized technological university with locations in Potsdam, Schenectady and Beacon, 纽约.
The videos can be used together or individually.
