Girls’ Engineering Exploration (GEE) is a full day event that allows girls in 4th-8th grade an opportunity to meet female engineers and be exposed to exciting career paths through interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities. The girls will be able to experience the creativity, innovation, and fun that goes on in the field of engineering. The event is FREE for students, parents, and teachers!

Whether you're a new employee or a trusted part of your leadership team, your first impression is the foundation of your success. In the blink of an eye, your "audience" is making snap assessments about you: are you trustworthy, reliable, detail-oriented? If you're lucky, you might have time to smile and say hello...and that's it. The end result? Business can be won or lost simply based on the impact of your silent, visual introduction. Are you sending the right message? It's time to find out and take action!
