Women in Science
In 2009-2010, females made up less than 25% of participants in STEM career and technical school programs nationally. One study found that in-depth STEM programming correlates with positive changes in female students’ perception of their own abilities as well as their career interests.
Women in Science was conceived to help girls build early, positive attitudes about science. Open to girls in 3rd - 5th grades, this program features a series of hands-on, in-depth education opportunities designed to grow their confidence, competence, and passion for natural science. Part of a broader initiative to provide multiple reinforcing science learning programs for girls, Women in Science brings together working female scientists with girls to help spark that confidence in their own potential.
Theme of this series is Earth Helpers. Women working in environmental science and research will join us.
During this session of Women in Science, the EV welcomes the San Francisco Zoo! Who will be leading young girls in activities that will focus on how our everyday actions affect animals around the world. Girls will explore various pieces of how science connects to nature through restorative practices.
Additional guest to be announced!
