Go ENG Girl
Go ENG Girl invites girls and non-binary youth in grades 7-12 to dive into the exciting world of engineering with a day packed full of creative, hands-on activities and cool exhibits. Meet and learn from inspiring female-identifying engineers, students, and professors who are eager to share their journeys, passions, and triumphs in engineering!
Parents are welcome to join us in the afternoon for a Parent Support Workshop! Find out more below.
This event is free for all participants and includes food, swag and more!
This year Go ENG Girl is partnering with Makers Making Change, a Neil Squire Program, for the Hacking for the Holidays initiative.
Learn to solder and assemble adaptive toys for children with disabilities while connecting with fellow innovators. Dive into person-centered design, assistive technology, and make a real impact in your community!
For many kids with disabilities, toys can be hard to use! Commercially adapted toys can cost more than $300. However, with a little bit of tinkering, we can adapt toys and make them accessible for a fraction of the cost!
Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change staff and volunteers are experts at hacking battery operated toys, taking them apart, and adding in the switch jacks. Become a toy hacker by learning from the best at Go ENG Girl 2024!
