Join us for our She Engineers family event on Saturday, September 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Families can explore at their own pace while tackling hands-on engineering challenges, meeting inspiring STEM role models, and building confidence as they discover that engineering is everywhere - and everyone engineers. Our annual She Engineers event is part of our ongoing effort to increase the participation of girls and gender-expansive youth in STEM and welcomes participants of all genders to join the fun!
