We are incredibly grateful to the Caltech Society of Women Engineers for hosting and guiding our students through such an inspiring and meaningful experience during our annual coordination of the “Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day.” Their mentorship, leadership, and representation matter deeply. For many of our students, seeing women thriving in engineering and STEM transforms what feels possible for their own future. While women continue to be underrepresented in many STEM and engineering fields, the road ahead is filled with opportunity, innovation, and impact for the next generation of changemakers. The JMHS Girls Build Crew is committed to creating these moments of exposure, empowerment, and belonging every single day and every single year. Together, we are helping young women see themselves not only participating in STEM, but leading it!

The day began in the new Resnick Institue of CalTech. The Society of Women Engineers helped our girls understand the gaps and need for women in STEM! SWE Caltech students gave us an overview of the vastness of STEM fields and careers, as well as their current majors.

Caltech is known for combining hands-on research with rigorous academics, so students often work in laboratories, design projects, robotics, coding, aerospace, sustainability research, and advanced scientific investigation early in their college experience.
