Girls, Engineering, Math & Science (GEMS) at South Dakota State University
This one day workshop for 8th grade girls provides an opportunity to explore interests in science and technology. This workshop is scheduled every March on the SDSU campus. During the workshop students will interact with professional women from industry as well as with professors and students from SDSU. The goals of this workshop are to introduce 8th grade girls to engineering, math, and science through a highly dynamic program of hands-on activities, increase student and parent knowledge of engineering, math and science with regard to academic prepartion and professional opportunities, provide an environment that facilitates learning and excitement about engineering, science and math and inspire 8th grade girls to continue to pursue the courses of study introduced in the workshop.

The Women in Engineering Workshop (WIE) allows high school freshman/sophomore/junior women, who are academically talented in mathematics and/or science, the opportunity to investigate careers in engineering and science. Practicing women engineers from industry and the government, educators, and university faculty lead informational sessions and discussions. Each session includes sessions in ten engineering fields, a laboratory experience, a team engineering project, and time to interact formally and informally with role models and talented peers.
Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering invites you to participate in a program called C-Tech² – Computers and Technology at Virginia Tech. A primary focus of the program is to help develop and sustain the interests of women in engineering and the sciences. The program allows you to explore applications of engineering, math, and science in a way that is fun and exciting. You will spend the majority of your time involved in hands-on activities designed to increase your interest in and knowledge of applications of engineering, math, and science to real world situations. The target population for the program is rising junior and senior high school girls.
Women Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin (WE@UT) is a program held in conjunction with the University Honors Colloquium. WE@UT is a program for high school senior women interested in exploring how engineering benefits society and impacts the world.
WE Connect is designed for admitted high school women and their parents or guardians who wish to learn more about the UT Austin Cockrell School of Engineering. Current engineering students answer questions and provide advice while participants tour the Women Engineers in LittlefielD (WELD) program. The program is free and occurs during Explore UT, The University of Texas at Austin’s annual open house.
