"Dr. Barnett and her role in the Amazing Girls Science program have played an integral role in shaping my passion for STEM fields. As a young child, there was never much female representation in science camps or classes I attended. Even then, I could feel the gender bias against me, and that alienated me from my male counterparts. With Dr. Barnett's help, my confidence in my ability to be just as good as any boy grew exponentially, and was a great foundation in exploring other areas of engineering. I plan to pursue an engineering major in college, and aspire to be the beacon of encouragement and hope for young girls that Dr. Barnett was for me." 

“The Mother and Daughter Engineering Fest was wonderful. My girls and I learned allot and enjoyed the time together at the Maritime Aquarium. 
The behind the scenes tour was a big hit and the girls really enjoyed meeting the scuba divers at the shark tank and were talking about it all evening on Saturday and Sunday."
