GEE is almost here and we are in need of volunteers for this event! If you are interested please sign up HERE 

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 registered students, parents, and teachers!

This year’s GEE is back IN PERSON and outdoors on Saturday, June 4th at Wayne State University. The GEE committee chairs (Sabrina Ridenour, Sam Poeppelman, and Sheila DeLapp) can be reached at SWEDetroitGEE@gmail.com with any questions.

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, Region 6 team, is pleased to announce the 2022 “SHPEtinitas Noche de Ciencias” event to be held virtually via Zoom on May 17th and May 19th from 4:45 PM to 7:30 PM CST.  
May 17th - “What is STEM?” - offered for middle schoolers  
May 19th - “Pursuing STEM” – offered for high schoolers 
 
This event aims to create STEM awareness to Latina middle-schoolers and encourage high-schoolers to see their own STEM future!  
We’ll achieve this by providing a hands-on interactive STEM activity from KiwiCo, a panel of college and professional female engineers to help them understand the feasibility of pursuing a college degree, and a keynote speaker whom is part of an amazing NASA mission of returning astronauts to the moon... including the first female astronaut to step foot on the moon! 
 
In addition, parents are highly encouraged to attend and learn about college financial aid opportunities. The financial aid session for parents will be offered in both English and Spanish. 
 
We would love to have students take advantage of this free event hosted by SHPE Region 6.
