Girl Scientists
My project is a program called Girl Scientists to engage elementary age girls in STEM subjects. I will hold eight 30 minute Zoom sessions for 2 different age groups, with interactive and exciting science topics, guest speakers, and educational information about remarkable women in STEM and nontraditional careers in STEM. The goal of this program is to show young girls that they can major in STEM and have rewarding careers in STEM, even though current data shows that there is a large majority of degrees and careers in STEM held by men. Hopefully, this program will help decrease the lack of female presence in STEM majors and careers in the Iowa City area.
