As part of our team's community outreach, we organize and host an annual Girls Inspiring Real Leadership In STEAM (G.I.R.L.S.) Conference. We have the opportunity to invite students from 6th-12th grades to listen to selected inspirational speakers from STEAM careers and leadership backgrounds that could form a lasting impact on the young students in our community. Our goal is to inspire and equip students from 6th to 12th grade to become tomorrow's leaders while fostering an interest in STEAM education. It is not limited to girls attending; everyone is welcome to come. Though we are still encouraging girls in STEAM. This year, the theme of our conference is “Taking the Helm”. Our event is divided into two segments. The first segment consists of speaker presentations that each last for about ten minutes. The second segment will be our “Speed Networking” event, where we present students with the opportunity to talk to college students and other professionals in STEAM careers and education. This year, our event will be hosted at Eastlake Middle School and is planned for Saturday, September 20, 2025. Our networking event will begin at 12 p.m. and will conclude around 1:30 p.m. The entire conference is planned to end at around 2 p.m. FRC Team 2543 TitanBot on Instagram
