A program of the National Academy of Engineering, the EngineerTeen website is designed to bring national attention to the exciting opportunities that engineering represents for young people. NAE strives to strengthen the engineering workforce and ensure it is truly representative of the nation and open to anyone with an interest in shaping the future. In 2001, we launched EngineerGirl to inform girls and women about the exciting opportunities available within engineering, because many girls were not being told that engineering was a career for them. With EngineerTeen, we are expanding our audience so we can share resources and a community of engineers with teens across the nation. Engineering and engineers remain central to the process of innovation, and innovation drives economic growth.
