EAF is a virtual Summer Camp for girls rising into the 8th or 9th grade in the state of Tennessee. The camp is designed for girls who are interested in becoming problem solvers and creative thinkers. Due to the Pandemic, EAF is being held virtually for the first time. It is a neat opportunity for young women to spend time exploring the ever-changing and exciting field of Engineering. TTU faculty, their students, and professional engineers will lead the activities. This year's experiences will revolve around space exploration.

Attend one or all of the sessions:
July 17 Mission to Mars (1:00-4:00 PM)
The focus of this activity is to incorporate problem-solving, teamwork, communication skills, and STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) ideas. It will start with introductions from the staff and students, then allow students to practice controlling the robot before navigating a maze of various puzzles.

July 24 Surfing the Stars (1:00-3:00 PM)
Participants will use the free website Stellarium to explore the universe. First, they will embark on a scavenger hunt for various objects in the night sky, ranging from locating a satellite to exploring distant moons. Next, students will analyze the arrangement of stars on the day they were born to understand the origin of their zodiac sign. Last but not least, groups will come up with their own history of how the stars formed and why they exhibit the behavior we observe today.

July 10 CyberPuzzles (9:00-11:00 AM)
Want to know more about cybersecurity? It is not a world of hackers. It’s a world of problem solvers. Join us in solving puzzles and challenges related to cybersecurity concepts using the SANS Go program.

All participants will be required to have access to an internet-ready device in order to join the activities.
