Previously covered by the Scout Report in 2003, the eGFI (Engineering, Go For It!) website has been entirely revamped and provides visually stimulating resources for teachers and students of STEM subjects, as well as the general public. The home page presents a swell of colorful postcards, each emblazoned with a STEM subject, such as Mining, Agriculture, and Aerospace. Readers may select Mechanical to learn about engineers who are working on robots, electric scooters, and other projects. Educators may want to navigate to the For Teachers section, where they will find lesson plans, class activities, web resources, and other tidbits that are often browsable by grade level. In addition, the Engineer Your Path link provides welcome resources for students who are thinking about a career in engineering, including an overview of salaries, profiles of engineering students, essential steps to getting into an engineering program, and descriptions of life on the job.
