Q: (Initially posted on January 2, 2003) FROM MENTEE SANA A. IN CT
Also-What are some places that I can volunteer at that will
help me with becoming an engineer. Currently, I
volunteer at a hospital and at the community center
calling bingo numbers but neither of these volunteer
jobs help me with learning something about physics or
math. If I was planning on becoming a doctor, then the
hospital would be a good place, but I want to learn
more about engineering. Also I was wondering if there
were any other programs for 16 year olds that are
academically informative about physics and math.

Regarding volunteering for engineering experience - contact your local
chapter of the Society of Women Engineers. You can use the national
web site to help you locate the nearest local chapter, www.swe.org.
Your local chapter may be involved in outreach activities and might
welcome having you along to help run some of them. Or, who knows,
one of the chapter members may invite you to job shadow her as a way
of learning more about engineering!
