LOCATIONS

Introducing girls to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) through hands on activities!

Girls Maker Day is a free fair geared towards girls ages 7 – 12 that offers a variety of hands on activities and informational booths aimed at introducing girls to different  STEAM related fields. Girls can explore these academic areas with creativity and innovation! This one day, open house style event takes place at the Downtown EmBe location twice a year in the fall and spring.

GIRLS MAKER DAY UPDATE: EmBe is proud to serve the community and we place your health and safety at the top of our priorities. With this in mind, and in an effort to protect those from the spread of COVID-19, we must continue to postpone this event until gathering in large groups is safe again.  Tentatively, the next Girls Maker Day will take place in the Fall of 2021.
