The SWENext program is the centerpiece of the Society of Women Engineers’ (SWE) outreach efforts for students of all genders, ages 5-18. This program encourages curiosity and exploration of science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, and what it means to #BeThatEngineer. Three key components of this free program, SWENext Clubs, SWENext Connect, and the SWENext High School Leadership Academy, help drive connections with like-minded peers, mentors, and industry professionals to explore their interests in STEM — all in a safe place where kids can feel seen, heard, and validated. Learn more about these three exciting areas of the SWENext program below:
SWENext Clubs
Primary and secondary school students come together in-person to connect and support one another in their exploration of STEM while also building relationships in the community.
SWENext Connect
SWENexters, ages 10-18, connect virtually with fellow SWENexters and industry subject matter experts for hands-on challenges and mentoring sessions.
SWENext High School Leadership Academy
This virtual program builds self-confidence and resilience among precollege students, offering five core content tracks and a chance to network with mentors and industry professionals.
