Bill > S0873

This resolution, a Senate Resolution from South Carolina, officially recognizes and supports "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," a national initiative aimed at encouraging girls in kindergarten through eighth grade to explore engineering. The resolution highlights the importance of engineering for South Carolina's economy and quality of life, acknowledges the underrepresentation of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, and emphasizes how early exposure to engineering concepts and role models can boost girls' interest and confidence in pursuing engineering careers. To achieve these goals, the resolution encourages participation from students, educators, engineers, families, and community partners across the state and formally declares Tuesday, February 24, 2026, as "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" in South Carolina, with copies of the resolution to be sent to the American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina and the South Carolina Society of Professional Engineers.
