About the Program
Expanding Your Horizons is a one-day conference held every Spring for middle school girls. The conference focuses on creating interest in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. These 7th- and 8th-grade girls will have the opportunity to meet professional women in science and math-related careers.
Presenters give a 45-minute presentation including information about themselves, their career and a short hands-on activity. Each session has anywhere from 15-18 young women.
