What is Girls GET IT!
Girls Grow with Engineering, Technology, and Industrial Technology! is a new summer camp that introduces girls to the fun, thrills, and excitement of the world of engineering and technology.

Girls learn about careers in engineering and technology through a combination of hands on activities, presentations, and discussions.

Topics covered in our inaugural camp include engineering design competitions with LEGO™ and mouse-trap vehicles, lessons in computer aided design and manufacturing, working with electro-mechanical robots, hands-on electronics labs, building fluid-powered robots and lab sessions on plastic injection molding and precision machining technologies.

Each day starts with a technology focused team building activity, and ends with discussion of careers that incorporate the technologies explored during the day.

Who can attend Girls GET IT!
Girls now completing 9th grade, and entering 10th grade this fall, are eligible to attend.

However, you will need to have your own transportation to and from the HTC Brooklyn Park Campus, located at the intersection of Highway 169 and Brooklyn Boulevard, or the HTC Eden Prairie Campus located at Highway 212 and College View Drive.
