One of our goals as a section is to promote and introduce the world of engineering to students and the adults that help guide them. As a part of our outreach program, we do several types of events throughout the year, such as (but not limited to) the following:

• Workshops
• Engineering Fairs
• K-12 School Events
• Mentoring for Collegiates
• Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Conference sessions
• Interfacing with adult leaders
• Girl Scout Events

We are always looking for people who are interested in volunteering there time to help with these types of events. Some events are a one-off event and have low time commitment while others run the course of the school year.

Certificate of Merit (COM)

The COM program was established to honor high school women having high achievement in science and mathematics and to encourage them to consider engineering as a career.  To receive a certificate, the student should be someone whom you would like to encourage considering engineering as one of their career options.

Explore Engineering Workshops

Typically offered at several different location throughout the year, these workshops are targeted to K-5th graders. The students are taken through a range of fun, hands-on engineering activities! This is a great volunteer opportunity - volunteers help run the sessions at the workshops and leading the activities. No prior is experience necessary!

Expanding Your Horizons (EYH)

EYH is a math, science, and technology career conference for girls in grades 7 -12.  Its goal is to provide these girls with information and encouragement to continue taking coursework in the STEM areas through their senior years. SWE will be hosting multiple sessions and looking for volunteers to setup and coach girls through workshops.
