About GEE
The Girls Experiencing Engineering (GEE) program is a continuing program funded by the Women's Foundation for a Greater Memphis designed to instill young women with confidence, interest, and awareness of the wide array of career opportunities within science, technology, and engineering fields.
The GEE program is an interactive, fast-paced program involving a number of activities that motivate and challenge participants. Both high school and middle school students have daily, team-based design competitions and projects that offer opportunities to apply content covered each day under authentic engineering simulations and feature prizes for the best team technical presentation and experimental component.
Daily presentations from local female engineers and engineering students allow opportunities for the girls tolearn about the variety of career possibilities, and help them understand the type of math and science preparation they need to become a practicing engineer.
Other program activities include brief field-work snapshots as we visit scientists and professors in related disciplines on the University of Memphis campus.
