Girls' STEM Week Wrap Up Video
WVU's student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) will host a virtual event open to girls across the country! We would love to have participants from as many states as possible!
Starting on Monday, April 19, 2021, kindergarten through fifth grade students will have the opportunity to virtually participate in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related activities guided by WVU SWE and/or you can register to attend some of the add-on presentations and interactive live activities. The theme is "Girls Can Bee the Leaders," and activities will focus around Earth Day and how engineers can make the world a better place.
