The event was held on April 26\, 20 24\, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Faculty of Engineering\, Universit y of Peradeniya. As this was an event to empower girls to cultivate and st rengthen their leadership skills and knowledge\, around 90 students from g irls' schools around the Kandy district participated in this event.\n\nIn the morning\, a few lectures were conducted to inspire girls towards engin eering and to uplift their skills. Then\, an interactive session was condu cted by volunteers from the Faculty of Engineering\, University of Peraden iya\, covering some basics of electrical and electronic engineering. It wa s an interactive session where students actively participated by answering questions and asking their own. Following this\, the students were divide d into three groups\, each with four volunteers to guide them on a tour of the faculty. The tour included visits to the Electrical and Electronic La b\, Fluid Lab\, and Mechanical Lab. Each group had the opportunity to expl ore these laboratories and gain knowledge about the equipment and processe s inside. Instructors and lecturers inspired them by teaching in a way tha t catered to their age\, explaining how various machines work and other re levant concepts.\n\nAfter that\, the students were divided into 8 groups\, each accompanied by 2 volunteers from the faculty to guide them in circui t designing. During this session\, students had the opportunity to gain ha nds-on experience in circuit designing. All the knowledge was imparted to the students\, who then worked together in groups to design the circuit. T he students designed a light level indicator using Arduino\, and the top t hree performing groups were awarded gifts. They received comprehensive kno wledge ranging from basic to an intermediate level of circuit designing th roughout this session.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Student Branch\n\nSpeaker( s): Mrs. M.M.N.
