NEW 2025 Girl Guide Workshops
Mac Eng Community Outreach is thrilled to announce the return of our Girl Guide modules.
All modules are brand new as of Fall 2025 and are provided completely free of charge.
Please note that we are able to provide badges for the first 10 000 participants only. Once badges are sold out the modules will continue to be available for the full 2025-26 guiding year.
Sparks – Pollinator Match-Up
In this project Sparks explore the world of pollinators by matching flowers to their pollinator partners. They’ll learn how bees, butterflies, and bats support biodiversity and imagine how AI and even robotic pollinators can help when pollinators are at risk
Embers – Rainbow Water Tower
Embers will build a rainbow water tower to see how water moves, mixes, and creates
pressure and uses capillary action. They’ll explore how engineers design real water
systems and how AI helps keep city water safe and reliable
Guides – Whirling Wonders
Guides will explore renewable energy by learning how windmills work and building their own powered mini windmill project. They’ll discover how engineers design clean energy
systems with the help of AI.
Pathfinders – WHODUNNIT
In this activity Pathfinders will use science and detective work to solve a cupcake mystery with blood typing! They’ll explore how engineers and AI speed up medical testing and see how science can be used to crack real-life cases.
Rangers – Protect My App Challenge
In this virtual activity Rangers will become digital detectives in the Protect My App
challenge. They’ll learn how to spot fake links, recognize AI-generated images, and
understand how software engineers and computer scientists keep technology safe.
Go Code Girl
Join us for the annual Go Eng Girl event on Saturday, February 22, 2025 for girls* in Grades 7 to 10 from 9:30 a.m. -12 p.m.
This in-person event is hosted completely free of charge for participants and is designed to create a supportive, collaborative, and fun environment for students to connect with each other and discover the excitement of engineering!
Cozy up in your pajamas and get ready to dive into the world of coding! This relaxed, fun event will introduce girls to the basics of coding through playful activities—no experience required! Let’s make coding as comfy as a night in with your favorite blanket.
We can’t wait to see you there!
Go Phys Girl 2025
Join us for our all NEW Go Phys Girl event on Thursday, May 29, 2025 for girls* in Grades 6 to 12 from 5:30pm-9:00pm
This in-person event is hosted completely free of charge for participants and is designed to create a supportive, collaborative, and fun environment for students to connect with each other and discover the excitement of engineering!
Dive into the fascinating world of interactive physics projects!
Afterward, the adventure continues at McMaster’s Alpine Tower, where students will tackle physics-inspired team-building challenges outdoors. From navigating low-ropes courses to cozy evenings by the bonfire enjoying delicious smores, and engaging in lively sports games, there’s plenty to ignite curiosity and keep spirits high!
