Greenlight for Girls

Women Run supported Greenlight for Girls in its first ever U.S. event: An all day FREE event for girls aged 11-15 years old to learn about Science and Technology. 150 girls participated on June 11, 2011 in Dartmouth, MA with workshops covering Science, Health & Beauty, Oceanography and Engineering.

Greenlight for Girls is a Brussel, Belguim-based international non-profit organization that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to girls of all ages and backgrounds. According to the U.S. Dept. of Labor women make up 9 percent of engineers today and 19 percent of engineering undergraduates in the U.S. are girls. Check them out at www.greenlightforgirls.org
