A senate RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND SUPPORT "INTRODUCE 
A GIRL TO ENGINEERING DAY"; TO ENCOURAGE THE PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS, 
EDUCATORS, ENGINEERS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS ACROSS THE STATE; AND TO 
DECLARE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2026, AS "INTRODUCE A GIRL TO ENGINEERING DAY" IN 
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate recognize the 
importance of inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers, innovators, and 
leaders who will design, build, and sustain the future of the Palmetto State; 
and

Whereas, engineering plays a vital role in advancing South Carolina's 
economy, infrastructure, public safety, environmental stewardship, and overall 
quality of life and is a rewarding career path for girls and women alike; and

Whereas, women and girls remain underrepresented in many engineering 
and STEM-related fields, but early exposure to engineering concepts and role 
models can significantly increase their awareness, confidence, and interest in 
pursuing a career in engineering; and

Whereas, "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" is part of a national 
movement that provides opportunities for K-8 students to explore the 
fascinating world of engineering through hands-on activities, mentorship, and 
engagement with professional engineers and technical experts; and

Whereas, by highlighting how engineers shape our communities, improve 
lives, and transform ideas into reality, "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" 
helps students of all backgrounds envision themselves as future engineers and 
leaders in South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, 
by this resolution, recognize and support "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day"; 
encourage the participation of students, educators, engineers, families, and 
community partners across the State; and declare Tuesday, February 24, 2026, as 
"Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day" in South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
the American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina and the South 
Carolina Society of Professional Engineers.
