Description

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will celebrate women in science, technology, engineering and math at the 9th annual Girls in Science and Engineering Day.

Adult chaperoned teens, youth, school groups, and families of all ages are encouraged to attend the in-person event, which will feature hands-on experiences, demonstrations and discussions provided by Intrepid Museum staff, Cooper Union, Hudson River Park, Women in Aviation New York Chapter, invited mentors and more.

Guests are welcome to enjoy and explore the museum throughout day.

The event is free with advance registration.

Girls in Science and Engineering Day is part of the Intrepid Museum’s GOALS for Girls, a free yearlong program that sets rising ninth and tenth grade girls on a path to explore STEM subjects, particularly engineering and aerospace, as a passion and possible future career choice. The program integrates STEM disciplines into real-world experiences and applications, introduces girls to women role models active in STEM fields, and provides them with social and professional support.
