GIRLS IN STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Aerospace Museum Field Trip

El Camino has an amazing opportunity to partner with the Aerospace Museum of California for their upcoming annual event called “We Can Do It – Together.” This is a one-day event on Wednesday, September 25th from 10:00 am to 1:45 pm designed to inspire students who identify as girls to pursue STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). The museum aims to provide girls with engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences to encourage and connect them with role models and career opportunities. With only 27% of women currently in the STEAM workforce, we believe this event can amplify, inspire, and leverage our talents to create an inclusive and inspiring environment for young girls across the Sacramento region. Fill out the field trip form and turn it into Room 25 BY TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 17th. Availability is limited to the FIRST 25 that return the form. Aerospace Fieldtrip Form - Multiple Languages
