The Grow Manufacturing Initiative (GMI) and Butte College Advanced Manufacturing hosted the first ANNUAL Girls in Manufacturing Summer Camp. This camp not only empowered young girls to pursue careers in manufacturing but it did so while breaking down gender stereotypes.
The camp curriculum covered a wide range of topics, including design thinking, product development, quality control, and the integration of technology in manufacturing.
Participants were able to get hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools and equipment, enabling them to develop essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking.
