Events > Introduce A Girl to Engineering Day
“IGED impacted my desire to pursue a career in engineering in an amazing and positive way and I have a greater idea of what I want to do.”
Each February, STEMworks™ offers our Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (IGED) events for middle school girls. Held in conjunction with National Engineering Week, IGED is organized and hosted by STEMworks™. These day-long events, held on both Maui and Oahu, include Q&A sessions with local women engineers as well as fun, hands-on engineering activities!
IGED was created to:
expose girls to the field of engineering
encourage participants to pursue engineering and technology careers
raise awareness of the contributions engineers make to the community
