This past week myself and four of our seventh grade girls got the wonderful opportunity to participate in a once in a lifetime event. The event was sponsored by AEP and it's purpose was to activate and engage girls in the various science fields. The girls got to spend three days in Columbus where they participated in wiring and constructing an energy bike, they got to tour the AEP headquarters in downtown Columbus where they got to meet and interact with several women working in the Science careers available at AEP. They got to meet and do several activities with Indy car driver Simona De Silvestro! The rookie of the year in the 2010 Indy 500! Below you will find the link to an article written about the event! http://us.areva.com/EN/home-2474/areva-inc-areva-aep-ohio-and-kv-racing-bring-science-and-engineering-to-local-middle-school-students.html
Mount Gilead was one of just five schools chosen in the whole state of Ohio to partcipate in the event and for completing the workshop the school was given the energy bike as a gift! Below you will find pictures from the event and keep your eyes open for events throughout the school year where the energy bike will be available for the community to use and learn all about the ways we can conserve energy!
