Are you a high school girl in grades 9-12 who's interested in exploring STEM careers and education pathways? If so, SheTech Explorer Day is the perfect opportunity for you to gain valuable insight into the exciting world of technology.
On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy, UT, more than 3,000 girls from all over the state of Utah will come together to connect with female mentors and role models in Utah's tech industry. This FREE, full day of STEM and hands-on workshops in tech is back, so don't wait to register now for the 2023 Explorer Day!
At SheTech Explorer Day, you'll be matched with hands-on workshops hosted by real tech companies and brands you love. Throughout the day, you'll explore career pathways and programs with universities from across the state of Utah, compete to win prizes in a TechChallenge that helps students apply technology to collaborate and problem-solve real-world issues, and so much more. Lunch will be provided, all free of cost!
This year, SheTech Explorer Day is proud to be a program supported by the Utah State Board of Education Career & Technical Education and their CS Specialist, Kristina Yamada. With the support of these organizations, SheTech can provide even more opportunities for girls to explore STEM education and careers.
In 2022, nearly 2,000 students attended the event, and it was a huge success. Governor Cox joined the Women Tech Council to welcome students from more than 150 schools across the state. Students attended sessions hosted by tech and STEM industry partners, enjoying hands-on activities in programming, engineering, robotics, biomedicine, web development, UI/UX, gaming and Esports, VR, and more.
There was much to explore in the TechZone, from 360 photo technology to aerospace programs, the tech in soft drink distribution, museums, aquariums, and careers across local and worldwide software companies. Schools from around the state came to show off ways their programs help students create and innovate, and everyone learned how tech is involved in everything we interact with and enjoy.
With the help of industry mentors, volunteers, and the SheTech Student Board members, girls in grades 9-12 worked in teams to compete for prizes in the TechChallenge competition. SheTech also celebrated graduating seniors and awarded some scholarships. It was a day full of learning, collaboration, and fun, and SheTech is excited to bring the event back in 2023.
If you're a high school girl interested in exploring STEM careers and education pathways, SheTech Explorer Day is an event you won't want to miss. Not only will you have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and participate in hands-on workshops, but you'll also get the chance to connect with other girls who share your interests and passions.
