Campus turned pink last month when we welcomed 50 girls from high schools all over Calgary and the surrounding areas for our first annual Go Tech Girl event. Each of the girls participated in 2 of 12 unique sessions designed to introduce them to careers that have traditionally been dominated by men. MSE instructors John van Leeuwen, Shashi Persaud, and Darko Stelkic each volunteered to help deliver one of two informative, energy-related sessions: “The Future of Energy” and “Oil Tycoon.” One session, held at SAIT’s Aero Centre, even attracted the attention of Global News’ Gil Tucker, who profiled some of the girls as they familiarized themselves with various parts of a commercial airliner.
