"Dare 2B Digital, a conference designed to encourage girls to pursue careers in science and technology that attracted more than 400 participants to such workshops as Sylvia's "Hands-on Robotics -- Kits and Demos." Sylvia's MakerBot was heating plastic, which then squirted onto a heated platform, to be transformed into something new and wonderful."

"Visitors will have the opportunity to learn how math is not just in a classroom or in front of a computer. Escorted by three robots-the BotZ Squad-visitors will experience math in new ways through six themed galleries"

"The Solara is intended to lift a payload to 20,000 meters and then keep it there for five years, running entirely on solar power. It functions a bit like a satellite, except substantially cheaper and much more versatile. And, you can get it back when you're done."

"Many Bay Area engineers also grew up competing in the First Lego League, which also launched in 1998 with 200 teams. Since then the league has expanded - last year more than 280,000 children around the world, ages 6-18, participated."

more engineering than science, electronics, robotics

Science and Engineering day camp for children between the ages of 7-13. Each week long session will focus on a different topic and this year we are offering six sessions in the following areas: Robotics, Engineering, Mathematics, Space Life Sciences, Aviation Week 1 (Flying and Air Traffic Control) and Aviation Week 2 (Safety Science and Aviation Maintenance).

there is an effort to show the human aspects of engineering such as creativity and finding solutions to issues related to energy and the environment. The university has several programs aimed at reaching younger girls, including after-school aerospace and robotics clubs at about eight area elementary and middle schools. A couple of the clubs are all-female.

get your passport to the exciting world of mat h and science at the Embry-Riddle campus . "Visit Japan" to computer-design your own animé cartoon characters. "Visit Egypt" to study the pyramids and how to "mummify" apples. "Visit China" to explore the Great Wall and the process of making paper. "Visit space" and learn about the International Space Station. Have fun learning about physics, robotics, computer-aided drawing, chemistry, basic engineering, and space science.

NASA Space Grant ESCAPE to Alaska Summer Camp The Alaska Space Grant Program in partnership with NASA invites students and teachers to a summer camp opportunity at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. ASGP/NASA will provide training and experiences for students and teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. The camp is a one-week professional development program for educators of grades 7-12 and a one-week academic summer program for students entering grades 8-12 in the fall. Attendees have the opportunity to choose from two modules - "FIRST Tech Challenge Robotics Training" and "Energy in Alaska." Camp sessions take place in mid-June. Applications are due June 4, 2011.

"CS221: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. For the first time, you can take this course, along with several hundred Stanford undergrads, without having to fill out an application, pay tuition, or live in a dorm. This is more than just downloading materials and following along with a live stream; you're actually going to have to do all the same work as the Stanford students. There's a book you'll need to get. There will be at least 10 hours per week of studying, along with weekly graded homework assignments. The professors will be available to answer your questions. You can look forward to a midterm exam and final exam. If you survive, you'll get a certificate of completion from the instructors,"

Follow the Desert RATS Team During Analog Testing The NASA Desert Research and Technology Studies team, also known as Desert RATS, marks its fourteenth annual field test and the first time a mission to an asteroid will be simulated. While NASA has landed astronauts on the moon and rovers on Mars, the agency is only beginning to tackle the challenges of visiting an asteroid. Desert RATS team members will conduct simulated human and robotic space exploration test activities in extreme Arizona terrain to investigate and develop realistic technical and mission-driven operations similar to those of an asteroid mission.

"Lego WeDo. This kit costs US $129.95 and comes with a motor, a motion sensor, a distance sensor and a USB-based hub. The robots built using this kit can be controlled by a variety of software platforms, including Scratch - a free and open source programming environment designed for children. Its actually quite powerful. "

"solar array totting, wind turbine holding, rover meant to analyze snow accumulation on the glaciers of Greenland."

The Navy's UAV, the X-47B successfully performed a cable assist landing - its first simulated aircraft carrier landing. It takes off, flies and lands within a few feet of its predicted path. In the coming months the Navy will begin testing the X-47B in live carrier landing test.

"The SeaPerch program is a great way to get students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). SeaPerch easily aligns to the national science standards and lends itself well to interdisciplinary projects. As we travel the world spreading SeaPerch, educators are creatively integrating this project into their classroom."

"The Remote Mars Yard (ReMY) - space technology just one click away. ReMY is an education-scoped project originating from Polish student analog Mars rovers - the winners of Mars Society's University Rover Challenge in Utah (Magma rover - 3rd at URC 2010, Magma2 rover - 1st at URC 2011 and Copernicus rover - 6th at URC 2011). The URC Mars analog rovers are full hardware simulators of real Mars rovers, capable of performing various scientific, exploration and engineering tasks in desert environments, such as Utah desert or artificial Mars terrain."

"GET STARTED WITH ARDUINO! Arduino is an open source electronics platform consisting of a simple microcontroller board and a development environment for writing software. It's a great way to get started with open-source electronics. Join in the projects!"

Being the second largest profession in the Ukraine, Engineering is highly popular amongst students as a career choice. The National Aerospace University Kharkiv Aviation Institute is the best Aeronautical Engineering Colleges in Ukraine.

Ukraine is one of the best countries of the world where Airplane and Helicopter designing Courses are developed and manufactures and in Ukraine there are specialists are trained for these areas.
