On October 11, Engineering Tomorrow celebrated International Day of the Girl with a high-energy virtual experience that brought students and educators from across the United States together for a shared moment of inspiration and focus on girls in STEM.

The event featured a keynote presentation from Tamara Robertson—Emmy-nominated engineer, TV host, and maker advocate—who shared her personal journey in STEM. Her story led from dirt roads and detours to scaling a seven-story building with a shop vac (!), all while reframing engineering not just as a career, but as a creative, curiosity-driven way to make real-world impact. Students were encouraged to see confidence, resilience, and imagination as true STEM superpowers, and to believe—deeply—that everyone belongs.

Watch the full session below—because when girls rise together, the future of STEM rises with them.
