Hi there!!!!
We're the Beta Cybergirls,one of the team of the Girls R.I.S.E program. The word RISE comes from Raising Interest in Science and Engineering. Our main goal in Summer'97 is to build an Electric car and a Line tracker. A line tracker is a device that tracks black lines on a white base. Toward the end of the program , which is on July 19 th 1997 , the completed car of each team will race against the other Girl R.I.S.E teams. ( Alpha , Delta , Psi ) In the race, we will be timed on the car and line tracker and with the car we will go up a slope of about 20°. The car will have to pull weights and so will the line tracker. When we are not working on our cars or line trackers we are working on circuits. We learned about paralell and series circiuts. A series circuit is a circuit that is connected one after the other. A paralell circuit is a circuit that is connected so that each loop forms its own loop. The Girls R.I.S.E. takes place in the Miami Museum of Science in Miami Florida.
Here are some related engineering websites:
Our Beta Cybergirls team consists of four members ( Samantha , Erin , Christie , and Mirilla ) and one mentor ( Phuong ). Samantha is the Project Engineer. Erin is Test Engineers. Christine is Facilities Engineer. Mirella is the Developmental Engineer. For more information about them individually, please click on the names to link to their homepages:
