HANDS-ON STEM EXPLORATION

SheTech Explorer Day is a hands-on tech conference for high school girls from grades 9th through 12th. This day-long event includes hands-on workshops in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our ultimate goal is to expose girls to technology in a fun atmosphere while they meet STEM role models to learn more about opportunities in those fields. Girls who attend will have access to internships, receive a SheTech certificate, access pathway information, and become part of a community that provides girls have opportunities in STEM.

The day is tech interactive and enables girls to experience, innovate and create. Girls start in the morning with working sessions where they explore tech, such as robotics, computer programming, digital media, health, and microbiology. They then hear from inspirational females and industry visionaries. In the afternoon, the girls participate in the TechChallenge where they work with industry mentors as they ideate, solve, and pitch their solutions.

Highlights

At Explorer Day, girls from hundreds of schools around the state experience, innovate and create while exploring ways to imagine the possibilities in tech. The interactive sessions allow technology exploration from Utah companies and learning new skills in a workshop setting. Girls can even learn skills to become a leader and entrepreneur! The TechChallenge provides a chance to work as a team, guided by an industry mentor to create a solution for a real-world problem, pitch the idea, and compete with other teams for prizes.

Besides getting to meet many female role models in tech careers, girls get hands-on experience creating fun and interesting things. Sign up now to receive information about the next SheTech Explorer Day!
