Girl Powered Workshop
A one-day workshop where girls in grades 4–6 design, build, and drive VEX IQ robots — with a student mentor on every team. No experience needed.
About the workshop
Girl Powered is a one-day workshop where girls design, build, and compete with VEX IQ robots in a supportive, high-energy format. No experience is needed — just creativity and curiosity — as participants try new things, tackle exciting challenges, and build confidence in STEM.
Registration is $20 and includes lunch and a t-shirt. Nothing to bring, and registration is waived for families who need it.
Next workshop: October 4, 2026 — registration is open.
