As we approach the first Bright Minds Student Summit of the year at RAPID + TCT this April 8-10, I want to call attention to the vital role this program plays in bridging the gap between students’ preconceptions and the reality of the manufacturing industry.
Every year, Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day provides an opportunity to inspire young women to explore the exciting world of engineering and manufacturing.
Did you know there’s a day dedicated to showcasing modern manufacturing to the public, students, and parents? National Manufacturing (MFG) Day not only aims to inspire interest in manufacturing but also to highlight that these careers are high-tech and innovative.
What does it mean to be an educator or role model? Someone who is looked up to by others, seen as a good example, or inspires positive change. A great time to introduce a mentee to a new career option would be during Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day on February 22nd.
April is Celebrate Diversity Month, and the SME Education Foundation continues to reinforce its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) by providing increased programming opportunities to underrepresented students in communities across the country.
As we begin the new year, it’s important to reflect on the record year that was 2021.
