GIRLS STEM Day at Hill College is a vibrant, hands-on celebration of science and math designed to inspire young learners to explore fields in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The 2026 event (which you can read about here) — the Hill County Campus (HCC) of Hill College hosted over 140 students and over 15 teachers from eight regional Independent School Districts (ISDs), Aquilla, Blum, Hillsboro, Covington, Iredell, Morgan, Mt. Calm, and Rio Vista. Sixteen workshops were available to participants, including 12 from Hill College departments and four outside partners.
Community partners RobotLAB, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Baylor Center for Reservoir and Aquatic Systems Research, and Prairieland Groundwater Conservation Trailer hosted activities as well. RobotLab brought AI robots and coding bots for various activities; Texas A&M held workshops on experiments and research on taste buds; Baylor provided students with an exploration of organisms in local streams; and Prairieland Groundwater Conservation educated participants on how water travels underground, how it flows and nourishes the soil, and how to best cultivate and irrigate water for growth and sustainability.
