Dear ISEN-L ers:
On behalf of the National Engineers Week Foundation, ASTC is happy to extend an invitation to our member institutions to participate in the 2010 Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology. The marathon is a live 24-hour forum providing information and insight for women about careers in engineering and technology featuring webcasts, online chats and teleconferences on March 10-11, 2010. This international event, led by representatives from Motorla Inc. and Rockwell Collins Engineering and Technology, seeks to explore various issues critical to the current and future success of women in engineering careers. Topical tracks are planned for pre-college, college and professional audiences.
Science centers and museums, with their appeal to a wide spectrum of lifelong learners, are positioned as perfect partners for hosting and/or participating in the marathon. The flexible nature of the programming could be utilized to enhance field-trip, camp-in and afterschool experiences. Additionally, your institution might strengthen its relationship with local chapters of professional engineering societies or local engineering and technology corporations by hosting a viewing of one of the webcasts.
Event coordinators are seeking interest by January 10, 2010. More information on hosting or participating in the marathon, along with contact information for the regional lead in your part of the world, visit the event web site at http://www.eweek.org/EngineersWeek/GlobalMarathon.aspx. If you would like further assistance, please contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or by phone at +1(202) 783-7200 ext. 139.
Regards,
