The South Carolina Senate has introduced a resolution to recognize and support "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," which is set to take place 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 pursue careers in engineering and STEM fields, where they are currently underrepresented. By providing hands-on activities and mentorship opportunities, the event seeks to increase awareness and interest in engineering among K-8 students.

The resolution highlights the critical role that engineering plays in enhancing South Carolina's economy, infrastructure, and quality of life. It acknowledges that early exposure to engineering concepts can significantly boost girls' confidence and interest in these fields. The Senate encourages widespread participation in this national movement, which aims to showcase how engineers contribute to community development and innovation. A copy of the resolution will be presented to relevant engineering organizations in South Carolina to further promote the initiative.
