STEM for Girls is an event in which girls are in­tro­duced to ca­reers in­volv­ing Sci­ence, Tech­nol­ogy, En­gi­neer­ing, and Math­e­mat­ics. The venue for the event was Wauke­sha STEM Acad­emy, Saratoga Cam­pus. Girls in 6th-8th grade from all over the city were in­vited to the event. Af­ter an hour of free time to wan­der around and visit any booths that they pleased, each girl re­ceived a sched­ule that told them what three spe­cial­ized booths to go to. There was a wide va­ri­ety of choices rang­ing from tech ad­vice to speak­ers in the STEM field. Girls were ex­posed to many as­pects of STEM. This event was em­pow­er­ing and rev­o­lu­tion­ary in show­ing young ladies that they can suc­ceed in ca­reers re­lated to STEM.
C.O.R.E. 2062’s role in this af­fair was host­ing one of the many booths. Girl’s from all dif­fer­ent sub­teams on C.O.R.E. talked about be­ing a teenage girl and en­joy­ing the fun of ap­ply­ing their skills to ro­bot­ics. They dis­cussed what it is like be­ing on the ro­bot­ics team and how to bal­ance this and any other ex­tracur­ric­u­lars with the other as­pects of high school. They also talked about how every­one has a place on the team, even if they are not in­ter­ested in the ac­tual ro­bot.   CORE takes pride in hav­ing a bal­ance team with girls and boys tak­ing ac­tive, valu­able roles.
