Twenty-five middle school girls from the Cobb County school district are taking part in a week-long camp, offering hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and a chance to engage with academic leaders and women working in STEM careers. The program, GE Girls @ Georgia Tech is sponsored by the Atlanta GE Women’s Network, in collaboration with Georgia Tech Women in Engineering. “Inspiring girls in fun ways is our primary goal …,” said Candy Carson, CFO of GE Energy Management. The week’s activities include constructing an edible car, building rockets and designing lip balm.
