About This Activity
Geering Up believes that Engineering is for everyone. This week-long program is designed to provide girls* with a safe and supportive space to experience and learn about the many pathways in engineering. From hands-on projects and interactive workshops to campus and facility tours, participants will gain valuable skills and insights into various engineering disciplines. Our undergraduate student instructors will guide participants through engaging challenges, provide a glimpse of life in university, and foster a passion for innovation and critical thinking. Join this program if you want to experience UBC Engineering and connect with students, mentors, and exciting hands-on content! This program is intended for participants entering Grades 8 or 9 in September 2026. Mentorship and representation have a positive impact on girls* decisions to pursue Engineering. Geering Up provides intentionally curated camps for high school girls* to further amplify our programs’ impact. Girls* thrive within a focused space to discover, explore, and cultivate their love for science and engineering. Geering Up holds All Girls* camps during our All Girls* week every summer to encourage girls* and inspire the next generation of women* scientists and engineers. *We use the words “girls” and “women” with an asterisk (*) to intentionally include students and stakeholders who are underrepresented in STEM fields. Cis girls/women and trans, genderqueer, or non-binary people are welcome at our All Girls* programming. Visit our All Girls* page on our website for more information.
