Girl Scouts learn how to be Materials Girls

Published: August 04, 2017

This July, fifteen Girl Scouts traveled to the ASM dome to take part in demonstrations that explained materials property concepts and introduced them to engineering. The scouts, who were between 7 to 11 years old, earned a Materials Girl patch by participating in the program. The day was organized by the ASM Women in Materials Engineering committee in collaboration with the Northeast Ohio Girl Scouts council.
