GIRL DAY | DISCOVERE ENGINEERING Girl Day (February 25, 2021) is a worldwide campaign to engage girls in engineering. Thousands of people--engineers, educators, and others--act as Role Models, facilitate engineering activities, and educate girls about how engineers change our world.. Key findings from DiscoverE's new report, Despite the Odds, found that this simple formula helps girls develop an interest in engineering, build CHATS WITH CHANGE MAKERS Chats with Change Makers.

ENGINEERS WEEK

Engineers Week (February 21 to 27) is a time to celebrate their important work and engage the next generation of innovators. Even with social distancing, you can make a difference. Be a virtual role model. Celebrate engineers and their contributions. Share Chats with Change

Makers.

VOLUNTEERS & EDUCATORS DiscoverE is building a robust center for volunteers and educators. Whether you are looking to become a more confident volunteer, want help presenting engineering careers to students, or are interested in learning effective ways to talk to kids about engineering, we’re

here to help.
