The Cal Poly Pomona outreach program Introduce a Girl to Engineering received a 2020 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. The annual awards recognize people and programs that make a significant difference in encouraging and inspiring a new generation of young people to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Introduce a Girl to Engineering (IG2E) program that invites middle school girls to campus to participate in hands-on activities representing a range of engineering fields. Recent activities have included: visitors making circuit butterflies using coffee filters, clothespins, LEDs and coin cell batteries (electrical); building a robotic hand (mechanical and biomechanical); constructing a Ferris wheel that had to rotate (mechanical), and modeling a metal molecule with pipe cleaners and pompoms (chemical and materials).
