Twelve Girls Division students, along with chaperones, science teachers Sandy Robertson and Liz Smith and Director of the Innovation Center George Mitsuoka, headed to the Colorado School of Mines earlier this month to participate in the Design@Mines Showcase. The students began the day talking over coffee with five leaders of the Mines Society of Women Engineers to learn about their experiences as engineering, computer science, physics and math majors. They then were each paired with a Mines student to walk through the showcase—a judged event where cross-functional design teams of senior Mines students present their projects which have been sponsored by companies or individuals seeking solutions. The group’s favorite projects were a proposal for a flood control solution for Glenwood Springs and an amphibious vehicle called a “biyak” that combines the functions of a kayak with a bicycle.
