GIRLS GO FOR ENGINEERING
Few women go into engineering, but WHOI scientist and engineer Anna Michel wants to change that. With funding from the National Science Foundation, Michel created the Girls in Ocean Engineering and Science (GOES) Institute, an annual program that brings a science teacher and a group of soon-to-be sixth-grade girls to WHOI for a week of science and engineering immersion. Here, they get a hands-on experience of sea-level rise in the Zephyr Education Foundation's augmented reality sandbox.

The girls meet WHOI engineers, learn about salt marshes, and build their own remotely operated vehicles.

Girls in Ocean Engineering and Science (GOES) Institute.
The rising sixth graders from Falmouth Morse Pond School were part of the 2016 Girls in Ocean Engineering and Science (GOES) Institute, an educational outreach program led by WHOI scientist Anna Michel. GOES was funded by a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to give six students a week at WHOI exploring ocean science and engineering. The program, which will run annually for five years and bring alumnae back each summer, helps to educate and inspire the next generation of scientists.
