More than 100 high school girls to explore STEAM careers at Smart Girls Rock
Event includes hands-on activities and an excavator simulator
GREENVILLE, Wis. (WBAY) — More than 100 high school girls from across the Fox Valley will see what it’s like to have a career in science, technology, engineering, arts and math, commonly known as STEAM, at an event called Smart Girls Rock on Tuesday.
The event is an effort to get young girls interested in those fields.
Hands-on activities
Participants will do a variety of hands-on activities that give them a sense of real-world careers in science, technology, engineering, art and math.
The event is at Walbec Group in Greenville. Walbec Group is an umbrella group for a couple of different entities, including Northeast Asphalt.
Walbec Group has an excavator simulator on site.
Girls who take part later in the day will get a sense of what it’s like to operate an excavator in the real world as part of a construction company. The simulator gives them experience in what that work is like and what kinds of careers they could have in the construction field.
Goal of the program
The goal of Smart Girls Rock is to get girls more interested in these fields.
About 10% of workers in the construction field are women. The program aims to get more young girls interested in these fields for future generations in this type of workforce.
