“A Girls Night Out”
A Girls Night Out is an evening designed to introduce girls 6 – 16 years of age, to the field of engineering. The anchor of the evening is the film, “Dream Big.” This film provides participants with a close look at what engineering is currently and what it will advance to in the future. As a part of our evening, female professions in the STEM field, will speak to the participants, discussing what careers in the field of engineering look like, as well as assist them with hands-on engineering activities, related closely to several themes in the movie. This Girls Night Out event will prove to be a fun evening for all and will begin to inspire our girls to “Dream Big” in STEM!!!
