SWE-San Diego is hosting an exciting opportunity for middle and high school girls to learn about science and technology careers. The annual program, Society of Women Engineers Exploring Technology (SWEET), features five exciting science-based activities where the girls will learn to think like an engineer in a hands-on environment. Girls will interact with local collegiate and professional engineers on a panel, while learning about how we model engineering on natural systems and how engineering impacts the world around them. Girls will also learn about other STEM outreach opportunities, including SWE Next, which is a way to become part of the Society of Women Engineers as a student through the ages of 13-18.​

This year's theme is 'Flex Your Imagination' and explores the many remarkable contributions of women inventors and how the ingenuity of engineers can solve problems and shape the world around us!
