This is National Engineering Week, and Thursday is "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day." Over at GeekDad, Doug Cornelius has an excellent wrap-up of engineering-related sites for you and your kids to enjoy.
All of this reminded me of the fabulous song "Gonna Be an Engineer" by folksinger Peggy Seeger (sister of Pete Seeger). It's a reminder of the challenges women have faced over the years when they wanted to enter a technical or scientific field. Give a listen (in the nicely done animated version above), and then go tell your geeky daughter she can be whatever she wants!
