Girls' Geek Day
Girls' Geek Day 2025/26 Dates
Girls' Geek Days are all about sparking elementary school-aged girls' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) by providing a fun, collaborative, hands-on environment to learn new skills and helping them connect to other STEM programs in the community. Participants will have the option to choose 3 different hands-on STEM activity sessions to join throughout the morning. Registration will open one month before each event. If you want a reminder, please subscribe to the Tech-Girls newsletter.

The first Girls' Geek Day was held in March, 2013 and was the the brainchild of Paula White, retired Gifted Resource Teacher at Albemarle County Schools. She and Kim Wilkens, Tech-Girls founder, continued to expand the program with the support and effort of many volunteers who generously offer their time and talents to get girls fun & early exposure to STEM fields. The program is now hosted at Center 1 with organizer Katie Breaud, Learning Technology Integrator in Albemarle County Schools.
