Join us for a special program with children’s book author and civil engineer, Jamila H. Lindo. Jamila will be here to read her book Girls Can Be Engineers: Hannah’s Dream Tower, share her journey as a young Black woman in STEM, and answer questions about why she finds civil engineering cool and exciting. Then, join Jamila for hands-on activities inspired by different areas of her work, to include a fun bridge building challenge. Jamila H. Lindo is a civil engineer and a Discovery Museum Black Women in Science program presenter.
This program was created in combination with Ellice Patterson, Biologist and Founder/Artistic and Executive Director of Abilities Dance Boston, and a Discovery Museum Science & Engineering Communication Fellow.
