Introduction
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE), founded in 1950, is a non-profit, educational and service organization. SWE is the driving force that establishes engineering as a highly desirable career aspiration for women/girls. SWE empowers women/girls to succeed and advance in those aspirations, and to be recognized for their life-changing contributions and achievements as engineers and leaders.
To help meet that initiative of bringing engineering opportunities to everyone, our outreach division has been organizing the Girls Engineer It Day (GEID) for many years. In the past, GEID has been an incredible opportunity to introduce young students to the wonders of engineering.
Just like in past years, our goal is to reach Elementary and Middle School students so that they can better understand some of the different types of engineering, what they are, how to apply them through hands-on activities, and what resources are out there locally for them to utilize to keep the knowledge and expand it. The event is promoted as a female event, the event is open to all.

Girls Engineer it!
STEM is a buzz word that everyone is talking about at the schools. We take that acronym and bring it to life. We have local SWE members and technologists that come up with an activity that speaks to them and they teach elementary and middle school students that activity.
Through this event we hope to teach the students that Science, Technology, Engineering and Math isn't as difficult as they might think. We want them to strongly consider choosing a field in one of those areas. So we teach a wide cross-section of STEM hands-on activities and let them decide if they enjoy it.
If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please visit our Volunteer page to register.
We are always looking to partner with local organizations in the community. If you would like to sponsor this event please visit our Sponsorship page.
