In 2012, a new Girls Advisory Board was instituted to re-design the site for a modern audience. The site was launched in 2001 with input from a specially selected Girls Advisory Board - bright, energetic girls from all over the United States and Canada. They want the creative problem-solvers of tomorrow to fully represent the world's population because they will be the ones to ensure our health, happiness and safety in years to come. Diversity of thought is crucial to creativity, and by leaving women out of the process of innovation, we lose a key component of diversity and stifle innovation. Engineering and engineers are central to the process of innovation, and innovation drives economic growth.
