Gateway Engineers had a great time participating in Girls Exploring Engineering Day with SWPA BotsIQ during National Engineers Week. Each group of students were tasked with creating a dam equipped with a levee system. The functionality of the dams and levees was tested, with many of them ending up successful. Gateway’s Project Manager, Kelley Harrington, E.I.T., and Employee Development Specialist, Kendall Holland, led the presentation and activity alongside Suzanne Gloekler, STEM Coordinator, for BotsIQ.

BotsIQ is a workforce development program by the Pittsburgh Chapter National Tooling & Machining Foundation. It nurtures youth’s interest in manufacturing careers, offering hands-on learning experiences to foster STEM education, provide technical resources to schools, and connect students with industry mentors.
