The SWE Weekend of Engineering is a fun weekend of exploration for high school women held each fall and spring semester and sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers. The program, which begins on a Saturday morning and ends on a Sunday afternoon, is an opportunity to learn about engineering as well as get a taste for college life KU Style.
The vision of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)is “to transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes.”
Girls Researching Our World is a year round program for middle school girls. All events are designed to help girls explore the fields of science, technology, engineering & mathematics (STEM). Saturday events during the school year are themed around how scientists and engineers make the world a better place. During the summer girls who have completed the 6th and 7th grades are invited to a three day residential camp that provides a wide variety of hands-on STEM activities.
This biennial one day conference is for 5th – 8th grade girls. On a Saturday in the fall, girls come to Humboldt State University to be engineers, scientists and mathematicians.
