“Inspiring the Future Mechanical Engineers of Puerto Rico”

ME Girl Day is a one-day camp organized by the Association of Females in Mechanical Engineering (AFIM by its spanish abreviation) at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM).

Every year, we open the doors of our department to welcome middle and high school students with the purpose of sparking their curiosity about mechanical engineering and showing them that they too can build, innovate, and lead in this field.

ME Girl Day is an educational and motivational experience where participants enjoy interactive workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and inspiring talks. During the event, students:

• Discover what a mechanical engineer does.
• Participate in design, manufacturing, and problem-solving activities.
• Meet university students and engineering professionals.
• Learn about the opportunities offered by UPRM for future engineers.

ME Girl Day aims to empower young Puerto Rican girls to see themselves represented in engineering and to recognize their ability to make a real impact.

Through hands-on experiences and real-life examples, we promote the idea that engineering has no gender: it is a space for all curious minds who want to transform the world.

El ME Girl Day se celebra anualmente en el Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez, organizado por AFIM en colaboración con el Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica.

La próxima edición se llevará a cabo en marzo de 2025.
