GEARS DAY AT Penn
Dear all,
Our names are Aarti Sabharwal and Evelyn Yu, and we are writing on behalf of the University of Pennsylvania’s Society of Women Engineers (SWE). SWE is a national non-profit organization that aims to advocate and increase opportunities for women and gender minorities in engineering and technology fields. At our SWE chapter at Penn, we aim to do so by inviting high school aged students to our annual GEARS Day.
On Monday, January 19th, 2026, we will be hosting GEARS Day. It is a day-long, no-cost camp intended to educate high school students about engineering professions. The event is held on Penn’s campus. Attendees will participate in hands-on workshops focusing on various engineering disciplines, including bioengineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. They will also get a chance to hear from and speak with engineering professors and college students. We hope that this day will inspire attendees and show them that women and gender minorities are able to enter such fields with vast opportunities available to them.
We hope that students from your high school can attend GEARS Day this coming year and experience all of the amazing things engineering has to offer. We are releasing applications and will accommodate as many applicants as space and resources allow for GEARS Day. All students are welcome to apply. The application will close on December 9th. We will get back to each applicant with final decisions in early January. The link below leads to the application page.
Application link: https://forms.gle/Wc8jKq6f4TodTM1VA . APPLICATIONS CLOSE DEC. 9th 11:59 PM.
It would be great if you could publicize this event at your school and pass along this link to your high school students. Additionally, we have attached a flyer to this email for advertising.
We hope that your students will get to experience this wonderful opportunity, and hope that they can help us create more opportunities for women in engineering and related sciences. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Aarti and Evelyn
