Mayzo releases instructional video for Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day 2021

20 February 2021 will be recognised as Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, a worldwide campaign engaging girls in the engineering field.

Mayzo is participating in this year’s virtual event by sharing an instructional video related to Chemical Engineering. In the 14-minute video, Mayzo Corporate Account Manager Nesha Tucker guides two students in a hands-on activity to make glue. The project also teaches kids how to test different types of glue for tensile strength.

The video is currently available on YouTube for teachers, parents, and kids to enjoy and share with others. Access on YouTube or on the Mayzo website.

SVP Valarie Milazzo said: “For our industry to thrive in the future, we need to encourage young people to pursue STEM careers. Since the Adhesives Industry is one of our Company’s core markets, we decided to create a fun video about glue to demonstrate how interesting Engineering can be. Girls, as well as boys, often have an eager curiosity about how things work, making them ideal candidates to succeed in engineering.”
