SWE Spotlight
Over 16,000 people attended the conference this year, and from collegiate to professionals, working moms and retirees, K-12 students, parents, and educators... there was something for everyone!
Congratulations to Ashley Chan and Erica Hsueh, Orange County students who won SWE Next awards at the conference.
Last but not least, a special thank you goes out to the WE19 HQ staff and the Host Committee for making sure the conference ran smoothly.

Girl Scouts of Orange County Volunteer Conference Recap
Natalie White, Krista Miguel, and Vinita Palaniveloo represented SWE Orange County as exhibitors at the GSOC Volunteer Conference. We talked to over 300 attendees about what WE19, Invent It Build It, SWE Next, and SWE OC STEM Outreach opportunities. We received a lot of positive feedback and expect increased engagement with SWE overall and with SWE OC specifically.
There's a huge demand for technical assistance and women-in-STEM representation among the Girl Scout leaders and parents we talked to. Stay tuned to this email subscription and our social media feeds for opportunities for you to Be That Engineer for the girls in our community!
