Although the majority of our activities at Girl Day are free-flowing and students can visit them at any point during the event, we have a few special shows that occur during the event that we highly recommend attending! See below for information on our 2018 Girl Day shows:
Dream Big: Engineering Our World in IMAX

Shows on Girl Day at 10 a.m. and 12 noon.
From the Great Wall of China to ground-breaking skyscrapers and bridges soaring above the clouds, Dream Big shows how engineers push the limits of innovation in unexpected and amazing ways. It also reveals the imagination it takes to create a sustainable future, and the heart that drives engineers to save lives. Starring three young women engineers and a high school engineering team, Dream Big will encourage today’s young minds to become the innovators of tomorrow.
