Invent It. Build It.
Studies have shown that girls perform at similar levels as their male counterparts, but their confidence and interest in engineering and math decline between 11-13 years old. Why? A lack of support, resources and programming designed to encourage their interest in STEM. As part of the mission of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the Invent It. Build It. (IIBI) program was created as a solution to this problem. IIBI aims to build pre-college students’ confidence and interest in STEM by combining creativity, innovation, exploration through hands-on activities and learning firsthand from SWE members and their peers.
