The College of Engineering is looking for student volunteers or student organizations that would be interested in hosting a booth at Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (Girl Day) on Feb. 23.
Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day helps focus a growing movement to inspire girls’ futures so they learn they have a place in engineering a better world. National “Girl Day” has been designated during E-Week (Engineers Week) to promote engineering to females.
The 2nd annual Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day will be held Saturday, Feb. 23 at Nebraska Innovation Campus (9 a.m.-noon). The day will include hands-on engineering activities and conversations with professional female engineers and engineering students.
We hope to attract 400-500 youth (grades 3-12) and parents. Activity breakout sessions will be limited to 30-35 youth. There will be four rotations of each throughout the morning (each 35 min.).
Please target your activity toward a fifth-grade level that may be scaled up or down, depending on the group. Please make sure your activity is engineering-related.
