Seattle Summit To Engage Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math - ?Expanding Your Horizons? Aims to Increase Interest and Achievement
Seattle WA (PRWEB) January 18, 2012 According to 2011 research by Dr. Sylvie Kerger at the University of Luxembourg, girls are more interested in studying science if topics are presented in a female-friendly way ? and middle school girls from Seattle will have a chance to learn accordingly at a conference tailored for them on Saturday, March 10 at Seattle University.
The seminar is hosted by Seattle University and the Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) network, which was founded in 1974 as a national nonprofit to motivate young women to become innovative and creative thinkers. For 25 years Seattle EYH has helped thousands of local girls do just that - while having fun exploring careers in math or science.
The conference, which is open to 400 middle school girls on a first-come, first served basis, fills up quickly so participants are encouraged to register early. It runs from 8:15 am to 1:30 pm. Information is available from SEYH by calling 206-296-2117 or online at info(at)seyh(dot)or
