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.

"Since we launched GOALS for Girls 14 years ago, we have been recognized as an institution dedicated to inspiring the next generation of women in STEM," said Dr. Lynda Kennedy, Vice President of Education & Evaluation at the Intrepid Museum. "We are excited to once again host Girls in Science and Engineering Day and continue to highlight STEM pathways for girls."

Girls in Science and Engineering Day is made possible with generous support from Sam Darwish, Chairman & CEO of IHS Towers, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Motorola Solutions Foundation, ConEdison, and Craig Newmark Philanthropic Fund.
