Girls Get WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) Challenge Day on Saturday, December 6, will cover the topics of science, engineering, math, and technology for female-identifying and gender-diverse individuals in grades K-12 with age groupings of grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12.

The goal is to expose participants to hands-on science activities and careers so that they can make informed decisions about subject choices in future school years. They will participate in hands-on science, technology, and engineering activities in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Math, and Physics, led by female faculty and staff from 17³Ô¹Ï and STEAM PEI. They will also meet mentors currently working in STEM fields.

The event is a collaboration between Girl Guides, STEAM PEI, and 17³Ô¹Ï with financial support from the Fund for Gender Equity, Actua, and Engineers PEI.
