Expanding Your Horizons - Math & Science for Girls


If you haven't heard of the Expanding your Horizons (aka - EYH) conferences you're missing out. These are one day conferences for girls in which women role models, from math and science related fields, do hands-on workshops with girls to inspire them to consider working toward careers in science, technology engineering, and math. I've been involved in the Mills College conference and the San Franciso State Univ. conference, but there are conferences all over the Bay Area and in most states in the country. The San Francisco EYH is coming up Saturday November 3rd, so if you know any middle school girls who would benefit from some fun inspiration in these areas, check it out here. And to find other sites around the country check with the national organization here.
