Engineering is fun. Let Society of Women Engineers in Savannah prove it to you.

All students in grade 6-12 and adults are invited to Girls Engineer It Day – an one-day event in Savannah focused on teaching hands-on STEM activities and letting students decide if Engineering/STEM is a career path they would consider in their future.

This event is limited to the first 200 middle-school & 100 high-school students to register. This annual event always sells out.

When: Sat. Sept. 16, 2017, 1-5:30PM – Registration required

Where: Woodville-Tompkins Tech & Career HS, 151 Coach Joe Turner St., Savannah, GA  Driving directions here

Registration and Details:

All registration details can be found here: sceswe.org/geid

Students will go through 3 activities focused on different kinds of engineering taught by local technologists.  The day starts with a STEM Expo which are small activities provided by local companies, surrounding universities, and professional organizations.  Then break into groups to begin the 3 activities (1 hr a piece). While the students are learning, there’s a separate event for the adults including learning what’s needed to keep the students interested in STEM, college prep, financial aid, and even community opportunities for internships.  Adults will learn their own STEM activity that they will be able to take home to teach the students what they learned.

Link to schedule here.

The event is limited to 300 students (200 middle and 100 high school).

It is promoted as a female event, but males are allowed and attend every year.

Message from Jennifer McKenzie, owner of Crossfit Hyperformance Athletics in Savannah : 

With everyone in back-to-school mode, it’s a great opportunity for Mom and Dad to get back into the groove as well. Crossfit Hyperformance Athletics in Savannah has got some advice on getting that done. Crossfit Hyperformance has a power word to help you transform your habits.

One of the things we often say after all the summer vacations, eating out, and late nights is “I need to get back into a routine.”

But wait! Before you jump back into the same old stuff, take a minute and consider how some of the routines you have now are helping or hurting you.

You are what you routinely do.
