What comes to mind when you think of a scientist? Most people imagine a man in a white lab coat who looks like Einstein. This open-house-style event aims to break the stereotype of who can be successful in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) fields. Girls (and boys) can catch the "science bug" through hands-on activities and learn about female STEAM pioneers and their important contributions to our world. Local women leaders from various STEAM backgrounds present hands-on activities so young women can connect with a potential mentor and everyone can see that anyone can be a scientist!

Recommended for ages 10 and up.

Event is free, but please pre-register.

 


Women and Girls in Science is located at the Kosciuszko Community Center.  This Community Event Provider requires an adult register and attend the event with their Girl Scout.
