PRESS RELEASE: Girls Do STEM Day at Warner Robins InnoLab Opens Doors for Girls in STEM

October 22, 2025 - WARNER ROBINS, GA— Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) invites girls to experience the excitement of science, technology, engineering, and math during Girls Do STEM Day, hosted at the Warner Robins InnoLab on November 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The event, sponsored by Georgia Power, is open to all girls in grades 2-12, not just current Girl Scouts.

Participants will dive into creative STEM challenges, from building solar ovens and marshmallow towers to experimenting with electrical circuits and joining a STEM clareer exploration panel. Families can also learn how Girl Scouts supports year-round skill-building and leadership in STEM and beyond. The Warner Robins InnoLab provides an ideal environment for these activities. Its modern equipment and collaborative design give girls a space to experiment, problem-solve, and discover the possibilities in STEM, turning curiosity into confidence.

Adding to the excitement, GSHG CEO Krystal Crawford and Warner Robins Mayor LaRhonda Patrick will kick off the event and cheer on participants, highlighting the community’s commitment to helping girls realize their potential in leadership, innovation, and discovery.

STEM is not only fun—it’s also rewarding. According to a blog post by Herzing University, women in STEM careers earn 33% more than women in non-STEM fields, though they still make significantly less than their male counterparts. Events like Girls Do STEM Day aim to help close that gap by inspiring girls to explore STEM careers and giving them the tools and encouragement to succeed.

Girls Do STEM Day is more than an event—it’s a first step toward helping girls see themselves as innovators, engineers, and leaders, building the skills and confidence to pursue exciting opportunities in STEM. Registration is $10 per girl, which includes lunch, and is free for accompanying adults. Families can register online at www.gshg.org/events; registration closes November 3.
