SWE-NESS
Outreach
SWE-NESS has educational outreach programs for youth of all ages, from elementary school through college. Our goal is to expand the image of engineering as a potential career for all young people, regardless of gender or race. Members are encouraged to join in making our award-winning outreach programs fun and educational for all participants. Our annual outreach events include:
• Girl Scout Badge Workshops at RI and CT universities
• Be an Engineer Workshop at Providence Children’s Museum
• Girl Scout Senior Leadership Conference (Science & Technology)
• Outreach to local libraries for National Engineers Week
• Joint events with the local collegiate sections
• Certificate of Achievement for local high school students with STEM interest
High School administrators, teachers or counselors may submit a request on behalf of 2 students (one boy/one girl) each year to be presented with the SWE NESS Certificate of Achievement. Requests are accepted between the months of February and April.
Application for Teachers/Counselors
For questions on any of these programs, or if you would like to help us with one of these, please contact Outreach Chair, Susan Anderson.
