SWE Career Day 2026
Feb 2026
Members of the Northwestern HAMMER team welcomed local middle school and high school students as part of the Society of Women Engineers’ (SWE) annual, Career Day outreach program. This Career Day is an annual event that is designed for female junior high and high school students who have an interest in science and mathematics or a general interest learning more about STEM fields.
This event sees over 300 middle school and high school students from the Chicagoland area enjoy fun engineering activities and competitions, inspirational keynote speakers, and lab tours. NU’s HAMMER team members shared their expertise and research by touring the students in their labs and demonstrating key aspects of their complex work in a customized manner suited for this specifically-aged audience.
