SWE – Girls Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math – May 19

The Society of Women Engineers Rocky Mountain Section, which covers Colorado and Wyoming, offers a wide range of opportunities to support engineers and leaders through networking, professional development, and the shaping of public policy and to inspire young girls to become engineers through outreach programs and scholarships. With the generous support of organizations like yours, SWEP will be able to deliver programs to aspire, advance, and achieve the next generation of engineers. They can only accomplish our goals through the generous support of their volunteers and partners.

They invite you to partner with them at one of our upcoming signature events. Please consider sharing the volunteer and registration opportunities with your members. If your organization is already partnering for an event or in current communication with one of our event committee members, please continue coordinating directly with them.
