Women in Engineering Program to host free Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day

The Women in Engineering Program at Purdue is inviting high school freshmen and sophomores to attend a free, engineering-focused program on Feb. 25 on the West Lafayette campus. Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day is geared toward young women interested in engineering.

Check-in will begin 8 a.m. ET, and the event will conclude with pickup at 3:30 p.m. Participants will attend hands-on engineering sessions focused on exploring their creativity. Participants also will have the opportunity to connect with a current Purdue Engineering student mentor throughout the day and enjoy a free lunch in a dining court with their mentor and other participants.

More information and online registration are available on the Women in Engineering Program website. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. An account must be created through the Purdue University system to register for this event. The registration deadline is Feb. 10.
