STEM Outreach Resources for Parents and Educators
|
The GEE team has compiled a list of STEM resources for K-12 girls interested in engineering. We have included information on events, summer camps, and attractions local to Michigan, scholarships for incoming engineering majors, STEM gift/toy ideas for the holidays, and free online activities.
Please share with your networks so that we may inspire the next generation of female engineers! |
