Event Overview

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and step into the garage! Girls Garage Day is an exciting hands-on automotive workshop designed to introduce young women to the world of automotive technology, engineering, and skilled trades.

Participants will rotate through five interactive learning stations, where they will gain hands-on experience and explore how vehicles work in a fun and supportive environment.

Why Girls Garage Day Matters

Women remain underrepresented in automotive and skilled trade careers. Girls Garage Day was created to give young women the opportunity to explore these fields in a welcoming, hands-on environment where they can build confidence, learn new skills, and discover career paths they may not have considered before.

By introducing girls to real tools, real vehicles, and real mentors, we help spark curiosity and show them that they belong in the world of STEM and skilled trades.
