As Engineers Week 2025 continues, ITEEA is pleased to bring you more ideas for celebrating Engineers Week with your students and colleagues. We hope you enjoyed the resources from Monday and Wednesday!

Today, February 20th is Introduce a Girl to Engineering, or Girl Day - a time when volunteers, educators, and others act as role models, facilitate engineering activities, and show girls how engineers change our world.

DiscoverE’s research found that this simple formula helps girls develop an interest in engineering, builds their confidence in their problem-solving skills, and creates a STEM identity. More than just a day, Girl Day is a movement to inspire a girl’s future by sharing what engineering is all about.

Check out the NEW Girl Day Planning Toolkits for Volunteers and Educators AND more downloadable resources!

Be sure to share via social media how you are encouraging girls to take an interest in engineering! Stay engaged in the conversation by tagging ITEEA (@ITEEA STEM on Facebook and @iteea on Twitter/X) and using #DesignYourFuture, #GirlDay2025, and #Eweek2025.
