The Society of Women Engineers NEXT (SWENext) Chapter at Saint Francis High School is proud to host its first-ever STEM conference, Innovate-HER, on Saturday, February 7, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 

We’re seeking speakers and judges who are passionate about empowering young women in STEM. If you’re a woman in tech, engineering, entrepreneurship, or innovation and want to inspire future leaders, we would love to have you join us!

This student-led event is designed to empower middle and high school girls, especially those from underserved backgrounds, by breaking gender barriers in STEM through hands-on learning and guidance from industry professionals!

Through hands-on STEM activities, inspirational speakers and a collaborative Innovation Challenge, we aim to ignite curiosity and confidence in the next generation of changemakers.
