Spring into STEM!

This Spring Girl Scouts of New Jersey are taking over the state! All four councils are hosting statewide STEM Events that will challenge your thinking skills and require some serious teamwork.

Visit the deep sea with aquatic sciences, learn about codes and circuits, online safety and virtual threats, or expand your horizons at the STEM Conference or STEM Fest! No matter where you are we’ve got something to pique your curiosity. Spring into STEM this March with us! See below for a quick list of our events:

STEM in Action: Codes, Circuits & Climate 3/6/26 | 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Registration Closes Febuary 24th
Hosted by Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey

Explore cybersecurity, computing, and environmental science as you earn your STEM Career Exploration Badge during STEM in Action: Codes, Circuits & Climate. Visit our Star Lab planetarium to learn about light pollution and discover your personal water footprint while observing an Enviroscape, a plastic model that emulates a watershed. You’ll learn to complete circuitry with Squishy Circuits conductive dough and dive into coding your own secret language with Caesar Cipher wheels. Adults who attend can choose to participate in an engineering challenge.

STEM Conference: From Wonder to Wow! 3/28/26 | 9:00 am - 4:15 pm
Registration Closes March 13th
