As a volunteer and former Assistant Jr. Girl Scout Leader, I wanted to pass this information on to my fellow colleagues or those parents who know of or have children in girl scouts in the area.
N.C. A&T Society of Women Engineers (SWE) are hosting a Girl Scout Day STEM Workshop on April 21 at McNair Hall on the campus of N.C.A&T. Please visit the following link for program and registration details:

When looking at the Girl Scouts website I discovered that girl scouts may earn badges related to the STEM areas and their program is geared to grades K-12. The categories are the Naturalist, Digital Art, Science and Technology, Innovation and Financial Literacy. Girl Scouts may Make Your Own Badge where they may create their own learning experiences. This is an excellent program to encourage interest in the STEM areas.
