Outreach
Engineering is innovation...it's invention...it's one of the most exciting and essential fields there is. In order to help engineering thrive and remain diverse, we need to share the excitement with girls in grades K-12. Education and awareness must start now, well before college. The future is in our hands. Help us place it in theirs.
At the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) we strive to diversify the field by encouraging girls in grades K-12 to capture the spirit of innovation and open their eyes and minds to a rewarding multifaceted profession. That's what we aspire to -- and that's what our Outreach activities are about.
Check out the SWE National Outreach Website for educator resources, upcoming programs, and online activities for girls.
Our programs encourage all young women of every education level in the fields of engineering. We have opportunities for scholarships at the Collegiate level. Our outreach with younger students includes Girl Scout events and Science Fair involvement. If you would like to bring some education to your classroom, we offer a Speaker’s Bureau that will come speak to your students. For female students who excel in math and science, we acknowledge them with a Certificate of Merit, which is something great to add to a college entrance letter. Check out the Outreach pull down menu for more details on all of our programs and activities.
If you are interested in having SWE-OC help with your Outreach Event or want to plan any of the programs above, please contact me via email and we can start providing support for your event!
