8:00 am - 3:00 pm
Auraria Campus in Denver
1255 10th Street Plaza
Imagine wandering the halls of a college campus filled with, instead of the usual college students, over 1,000 excited 7th-grade girls participating in hands-on STEM workshops. These students are encouraged to hone their problem-solving abilities through innovation and teamwork, all in an atmosphere of fun and inclusion. Volunteers from companies in all facets of STEM come to teach and talk with the girls about the many opportunities and career paths that can be theirs someday.
GESTEM relies completely on support from volunteers and corporate partners in order to make this event 100% free for those that attend. We are still in need of guides, day of-runners, and donations! You can find more information about the event and how to donate or sponsor on our website.

As a guide, you will lead a group of 8-10 girls to three different fun and hands-on STEM workshops put on by local companies. You’ll have an opportunity to share your experience in STEM fields and talk to the students about their impressions of STEM and areas of interest.
“To me, it’s obvious that girls should be scientists and engineers. As a GESTEM guide, I got to watch it become obvious to them. It filled my heart with warmth to watch the girls get a little nerdier. Being a guide was easy and fun, and I really enjoyed spending time with kids, which isn’t something I do in my current job”.
