Goal statement
To Introduce more women to the fields associated with STEM. Many of the previous attendees have reported being unaware of all the career and academic possibilities in the STEM fields. This event is designed to raise awareness for females students in our local service area.
Activity Description
This one-day event provides local female students, grades 8-11 with the opportunity to explore many of the academic disciplines which comprise STEM through the use of hands-on workshop sessions. During the day students attend breakout sessions where they use technology to work on real world solutions. Students learn about the application of technology to the world of work through fun and interactive activities. Topics in the breakout sessions include: math, chemistry and physics experiments, robotics, networking, computer hardware, Macintosh software, Alice programming software, web page design and more!
