The South Carolina House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to recognize and support "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," which is set to be observed on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. This initiative aims to encourage participation from students, educators, engineers, families, and community partners throughout the state. The resolution emphasizes the importance of inspiring young girls to consider careers in engineering and STEM fields, where they are currently underrepresented. By providing hands-on activities and mentorship opportunities, the event seeks to enhance awareness and interest in engineering among K-8 students.

The resolution highlights the critical role that engineering plays in South Carolina's economy, infrastructure, and overall quality of life. It acknowledges that early exposure to engineering concepts can significantly boost girls' confidence and interest in pursuing these careers. The House of Representatives aims to promote the event as part of a national movement that showcases how engineers contribute to community development and innovation, ultimately helping students envision themselves as future leaders in the field. A copy of the resolution will be presented to relevant engineering organizations in South Carolina.
