Girls Have IT Day! is held annually in March to encourage, engage, and excite middle school girls in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). Studies show that girls lose interested in STEAM from 6th to 9th grade and this event helps keep girls engaged and open to opportunities. Using a powerful mentorship model, girls work with hands-on activities to learn more about STEAM. Join us at ASU to try a sample activity and to learn more!
