STEM Girl Day At UT Brings In Students From All Types Of Backgrounds
March 06, 2024
What started as an after-school event in 2002 has grown into a community-wide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) festival. Led by the Women in STEM Division of Campus and Community Engagement at UT Austin, over 148 campus and community partners foster the largest event of its kind that celebrates Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day in the world.
“I think every kind of student can benefit from this type of opportunity,” said Laura Terrill, UT alumna and director of STEM and Outdoor Programs for Girl Scouts of Central Texas. “Whether that student is in school, homeschooled or wherever they get their formal education, this is an informal science event designed for every kid, and I think it’s wonderful that kids have opportunities outside of their school day.”
