SWE Summer Camp
The demand for technology-savvy entrants in the workplace is growing three times faster than all other occupations, while enrollment in colleges of engineering is declining - particularly among women.
In an effort to change the current perception of engineering and technology fields among girls, SWE Atlanta hosts an annual summer camp for high school juniors & seniors to expose them to prominent Atlanta companies. Attendees visit a different company each day.
SWE Atlanta has coordinated with several Atlanta companies to give high school girls an opportunity to meet women engineers and technologists and hear first-hand about their exciting career paths in these large Atlanta companies. These women will lead activities and the girls will be able to experience the creativity and innovation that goes on in the field of engineering first hand.
