Black Women in Science: Civil Engineering with Jamila H. Lindo

Join us for an exciting program series that honors the contributions of Black women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. In this program, we will host a virtual meet and greet with Jamila H. Lindo and learn more about her work as an engineer and author. From 1:00pm to 1:30pm, hear Jamila share her personal journey as a young Black woman in STEM, and ask her questions about why she finds civil engineering cool and exciting. Then, try some hands-on activities inspired by different areas of Jamila’s work, to include building simple structures and bridges, then testing their strength. 

Jamila H. Lindo is a civil engineer who currently lives and works in London. Jamila will be joining us virtually for the speaking portion of this program. 

This program series was created in combination with Ellice Patterson, Biologist and Founder/Artistic and Executive Director of Abilities Dance Boston, and a Discovery Museum Science & Engineering Communication Fellow.
