One hundred girls in 7th and 8th grade will participate in the conference at BGSU Firelands which introduces young women to the traditionally male-dominated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Students will engage in a variety of experiments and creative problem solving as they participate in multiple hands-on, STEM workshops. They will also discover exciting career opportunities in a fun and educational atmosphere as they interact with professional women in the respective fields.
Sponsored by the Office for Educational Outreach, the program is scheduled for Nov. 13 from 8:45 a.m. to 1:50 p.m. at BGSU Firelands.
