Announcing NH Girls Technology Day Calendar

Girls Technology Day

CONCORD – The New Hampshire Department of Education’s Bureau of Career Development today announced the 2020 Events Calendar for NH Girls Technology Day, and called on interested schools to participate.

NH Girls Technology Day is a partnership between the Bureau, the NH Tech Alliance, post-secondary schools, and businesses across the state that provides female middle and high school students hands-on exploration of STEM fields in a series of supportive environments. Participating schools may bring up to 30 young women (grades 8-10 encouraged, but the program is open to all middle and high school grades.)

"The New Hampshire Department of Education is thrilled to be working collaboratively with CCSNH, USNH, industry, and the NH Tech Alliance to bring cool science and tech to young ladies in our schools in this interactive opportunity outside of the traditional classroom walls," said Eric Frauwirth, Administrator of the Bureau of Career Development. "We want to encourage every school to join this successful and growing partnership."

The 2020 Events Calendar for NH Girls Technology Day includes:

  • December 17 – White Mountain Community College, Berlin
  • January 15 – University of New Hampshire, Durham
  • March 18 – NHTI, Concord
  • March 20 – Manchester Community College, Manchester
