Inspiring girls to explore STEM. Building the future together.
SHE ENGINEERS EVENT
Our annual She Engineers event is a special day for girls and their families to join us at The Works Museum to highlight the work of women in STEM careers. Guests will have the opportunity to meet amazing role models and participate in exciting demonstrations!
SHE ENGINEERS INITIATIVE
Career pathways begin with exploration, inspiring experiences and role models, and dreaming about possibilities. Through She Engineers, girls* have access to first-hand experience where they’re the engineer and to amazing STEM role models.
She Engineers programs and resources:
Events – Saturday, September 28th from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Meet the Engineer – learn about amazing women in engineering
Engineering activities for kids – downloadable activities
Resources for Educators – downloadable posters and activities
*The Works Museum is committed to improving gender equity and representation in STEM. Our programs for girls are inclusive and welcoming to gender expansive students (cisgender and transgender girls, non-binary or gender non-conforming students, and any other girl-identifying youth).
WHY SHE ENGINEERS MATTERS
We’ve reached more than 4,200 girls in programs just for them over the past five years – but there is more work to be done. Help The Works Museum reach more girls and have more impact by supporting She Engineers.
- In the state of Minnesota between 2014-2021, 28% of all new jobs are projected to be in STEM.1
- Of 4th grade girls in Minnesota, only 53% consider themselves interested in science.1
- For students in Minnesota entering the workforce in the same year, 17% of women hold STEM careers, as opposed to 26% of men.1
- In the United States, STEM careers pay more than twice the median average wage.2
