Expanding Your Horizons
in Math and Science
A career conference for young women in grades 6 - 8 

Would you like to be a veterinarian?  A pharmacist?  A biologist?  An engineer?  These careers involve math and science.  The time to take classes in math and science is now, in junior high and high school.

Discover how exciting, interesting, and fun math and science can be.  Learn about opportunities for women in technical fields by attending hands-on workshops.  Form personal contacts with women working in these fields.  Meet other young women interested in math and science.  It’s a good way to find out what you like to do before you have to make up your mind.

 

Thanks to all those who made the 2006 conference a great success!
