What better way to celebrate Black Girls Do Engineer Day and seven years of impact than by hearing directly from the girls who are living the mission?

In this special anniversary episode, the microphones are turned over to some of our youngest Future of Tech Summer Camp participants. Through their own voices, they share what Black Girls Do Engineer means to them, what they learned during camp, and how hands-on experiences in engineering and technology are changing the way they see themselves and their futures.

From building and creating to discovering new technologies and making new friends, these girls remind us that confidence begins with opportunity. Their excitement, honesty, and imagination reflect exactly why Black Girls Do Engineer was founded seven years ago—to create spaces where Black girls are encouraged to dream boldly, explore fearlessly, and see themselves as the engineers, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow.

As we celebrate this milestone, we're reminded that our greatest measure of success isn't just the programs we've created—it's the voices, confidence, and limitless potential of the girls we serve.

Thank you to every student, parent, volunteer, educator, corporate partner, donor, and supporter who has been part of this seven-year journey. Because of you, thousands of girls have discovered that they belong in STEM.

Today, we celebrate seven years of impact.

Tomorrow, we continue building the future—one girl at a time.

Happy Black Girls Do Engineer Day! 💛🖤
