Girls Engineering Day

Samantha's school hosted a Saturday event focused on engineering.  There were career presentations by women and plenty of activities, including sessions on building different things.  Samantha chose to join me where I volunteered to help build catapults.  Most of the girls hadn't worked with any power tools, so I taught them how to use the drill.  Their faces lit up when they did it.  It seemed that the girls were expecting me to do the drilling for them, so when I handed them the drill I saw fear at first, then the excitement of doing it on your own.  The whole experience was fantastic for everyone!

Here's Samantha about to launch another volley with her catapult!
