The Goonettes Invitational will promote STEM education and training for young girls to increase female participation in FIRST and team 3604, the Goon Squad, and their related programs. The event also helps put girls ahead in their pursuits of continued STEM post-secondary education and careers by teaching them technical skills and offering resources from sponsors and local educational programs. By displaying to young girls the power of their own minds, we aim to empower their future choices, self-confidence, and leadership abilities.
