Every year, SWE hosts Girl Scout Engineering Day, a dynamic half-day outreach event for Junior Girl Scouts where participants explore various areas of STEM. This year’s theme is “Exploring Biotech.” Biotechnology plays a pivotal role in our lives—it’s the very fabric of our existence. From groundbreaking innovations to everyday products, biotech has revolutionized our world. Through biotechnology, we’re unlocking new health treatments and medicines, enabling people to lead longer, healthier lives. Junior Girl Scouts will learn more about these fascinating topics through interactive discussions and hands-on activities. 
Girl Scout Engineering Day prepares participants to: 
  • Define introductory science, engineering, and mathematics concepts 
  • Demonstrate their interest in STEM with continued active engagement in STEM-type classes, and extracurricular activities 
  • Apply their learning to future hands-on experiences to complete the Girl Scout STEM badge

Quotes from Post-Event Parent Survey:

“Thank you so much for the fun day today! It was so great to see the girls excited about learning about STEM. It was also inspiring seeing all the young, talented, women pursuing careers in STEM. Thanks so much for your time and effort in making this great learning experience for the girls! I love that SWE exists!”

“Thank you so much for organizing a wonderful STEM event for the Girl Scouts! My daughter had a great time and discussed several activities afterwards.  She also reiterated her desire to learn more coding. Now if she can combine coding, with her love of dragons, she will be well on her way to a dream career.”
