GT-SWE annually hosts the one-day engineering outreach event. Through the program, high school girls will be introduced to various engineering majors and career options, encouraged to pursue an interest in math, science and engineering through campus tours and hands-on experiences, and provided with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with current female engineering students.

The purpose of the High School Outreach Committee is to plan, coordinate, and develop an informative day long program for high school girls. The day-long program typically consists of a light breakfast, morning sessions. Informative sessions usually include having professors and SWE members speak, and cover topics such as needed high school courses for entry to an engineering program, special opportunities for women, and co-op options, and a campus tour.
