March 8, 2025 /  Girls Ages 10-14 / STEAM and Career Exploration Activities

Girls Day Out, hosted by Tompkins Cortland Community College, is a day for girls ages 10-14 to immerse themselves in science, music, art, and career path exploration activities with the help of local women leaders. This year, the theme of International Women’s Day is to “Inspire Inclusion,” and we plan to do just that. We will engage and empower ALL girls in our community by equipping them with the tools to go out into the world as we see them: equal, powerful, and unstoppable.

Details:

The day’s events will include the following:

  • An interactive career fair with accomplished women from the Cortland community and surrounding areas.
  • A ukulele lesson to learn the basics and a few beginner songs.
  • An empowering art project focused on using creativity to serve the community.
  • An engaging science project exploring real-time biodata 
  • A fun Lego-building activity to support social-emotional development.
  • An end-of-day pool party!

Lunch and a snack will be provided, along with a 2025 Girls Day Out bag.
