\"Make<\/p>\n

This weekend, some very talented women engineers will be hosting the event, Make your own Wearables<\/a> for high school girls at MIT Lincoln Labs in Lincoln, MA.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMake your own wearables\u201d workshop for high school girls is an introduction to engineering through wearable technology. The full day workshop hosted by MIT Lincoln Laboratory on Saturday December 13th consists of two major hands-on projects in manufacturing and wearable electronics. The activities include 3d printing jewelry and laser cutting a purse, as well as programming LEDs to light up when walking. Participants will learn the design process, 3d computer modeling, and machine shop tools; in addition to writing code and building a circuit.<\/p>\n

Two guest speakers will be presenting the application of wearable technology:\u00a0Michael Gibson from\u00a0Embr Labs<\/a><\/strong>, the company that created “Wristify,” a finalist for the international\u00a02014 Intel Make It Wearable Competition; and Katy Olesnavage, a MIT researcher designing the\u00a0next generation of\u00a0<\/a>prosthetics<\/span><\/span>. \u00a0<\/strong>Registration includes snack, lunch, and activity materials.<\/p>\n

How to Register<\/strong>: https:\/\/www.girlswhobuild.com\/registration\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Program is now full, but you can submit your information to be on the waitlist, or to be on the mailing list for next year, it fills up very fast!<\/p>\n

Cost:<\/strong> $20<\/p>\n

Audience:<\/strong> High School Girls<\/p>\n

Thank you Kristen Railey<\/strong> for sharing your SOLIDWORKS skills and engineering passion with these young women. \u00a0Check out Kristen’s STEM blog<\/a> for inspiring the next generation of engineers.<\/p>\n
