Introduce a Girl To Engineering Day (IGED)

  • Oct. 27th, 2018
  • Grades 9 – 12
  • 10 am to 4 pm

Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (IGED) is an annual event put on by the Society of Women Engineers. Through hands on activities as well as interaction with current engineering students and professors, this event is uniquely designed to help high school girls understand what a career in engineering might entail. This year, we will be exploring the stranger things about engineering and learning more about the world we live in!
