As we mentioned in an earlier post, Kirstyn applied for and was accepted to a girls engineering program at Northern Illinois University (Naperville Campus).  It’s called NIU EEP (Northern Illinois University Enhancing Engineering Pathways) and is designed to get middle school girls interested in engineering fields of study.  Today was her first day and she had a blast!  There are about 75 or so girls involved and she knows a couple.  This will help for carpooling!  She will be doing this every other Saturday through February or March (I think)!
