Girls Engineer It! Day

We take the acronym STEM and bring it to life! Each year we host our Girls Engineer It! Day event designed to teach that Science, Technology, Engineering and Math isn’t as difficult as students might think. This year is extra special because the event is March 7th (Sat) the day before International Women’s Day!

Our Girls Engineer It! Day includes:
* An Expo where area schools, universities and companies showcase their STEM fields
* Each student participates in 2-3 different age-appropriate activities
* Open to all students Grades 4 – 12 (see activities based on grade below)
* Hands-on activities led by area STEM professionals and enthusiasts
