More than 3,000 Girls Made an Amazing SheTech Explorer Day!

SheTech Explorer Day 2023 was a tremendous success with more than 3,000 registered students gathering at the Mountain American Expo Center on February 28th, 2023 for a day full of hands-on STEM exploration. The buses rolled in, and the students flooded the halls, creating an exciting and engaging day for everyone involved. Governor Cox joined the Women Tech Council in welcoming students from more than 150 schools across the state, answering questions from students and greeting SheTech Student Board members.

Attendees had the chance to participate in sessions hosted by tech and STEM industry partners, where they engaged in a range of hands-on activities, including programming, engineering, robotics, biomedicine, web development, UI/UX, gaming, Esports, VR, entrepreneurship, and more. The TechZone was a highlight of the day, with students exploring cutting-edge technology in fields such as 360 photo technology, aerospace programs, 3D printing, automotive tech, museums, aquariums, and careers across local and worldwide software companies. Schools from around the state showcased STEM-focused programs that help students imagine education pathways to the new careers they explored during the day, and everyone learned how tech is involved in everything we interact with and enjoy.

With the help of industry mentors, volunteers, and our SheTech Student Board members, girls in grades 9-12 formed teams to compete for prizes in the TechChallenge competition. We celebrated our SheTech graduating seniors and awarded 30 scholarships to deserving students. It was an incredible experience and we can’t wait to welcome even more students at SheTech Explorer Day 2024. Save the date for SheTech Explorer Day on March 14, 2024, if you don’t want to miss out on this exciting event next year!

We encourage you to talk to your teachers, parents, and friends about joining us for another year of STEM exploration and innovation. SheTech offers opportunities for students all year long, and we are committed to inspiring and empowering young women to pursue careers in STEM.
