Abstract :
It is often said that to develop talent and cultivate passion in people, we should "start them young." This is the premise under which extracurricular activities, such as sports, or cultural pursuits, like language or music, become so important in elementary and middle schools. It is also a key factor in supporting future generations of engineers, who need to recognize their aptitudes for science and math at an early age. It is why William Lam, a member of IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE), is volunteering his time to coach an all-girls competitive team in a robotics club.
