Why Attend?
This project is funded by the National Science Foundation and administered by the Programs for Educational Opportunity, University of Michigan School of Education in collaboration with the Education Department, Baker College of Flint. This conference offers the chance for schools and organizations committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue classes and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to come together to share best practices, develop new collaborations, and share resources. The successful career transition of students and the economic future of Michigan are tied to increased participation of all students in careers that rely on STEM skills and competencies.
Mini-grants are available to organizations that collaborate in the development and delivery of programming that share this vision.
