Strength in Service: Outreach Volunteering Spotlight Featuring Girls Build!

Girls Build! Day—hosted by the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC)—is a special STEAM festival designed just for girls. During the festival, youth are invited to build, learn, and network with professionals in architecture, construction, engineering, design, and related fields. The day also includes a keynote speech, where attendees hear from (and ask questions of) a distinguished female STEAM professional. The program is designed to engage middle and high school youth (ages 11-17) who identify as female or other marginalized genders (all are welcome, including families). WiSE hosts a table at Girls Build! where volunteers help students learn about structural engineering through hands-on activities and connecting with SEAOI professionals. The program is once per year on a Saturday morning with ~300 attendees. Volunteer commitment is very low (only a few hours), with minimal prep required.

Registration

This event is free to attend! It is a virtual event that will take place on Zoom. All attendees must have a free Zoom account in order to access the webinar.

The presentation will be recorded.
