- educate girls about science and math in every day applications and in potential career choices;
- provide girls opportunities to experience successes in math & science;
- motivate girls to challenge themselves and continue in math & science with a plan.
Two types of project activities were implemented:
1) field trips and
2) after-school activities.
Activities are designed to stimulate interest in math & science, through a "girl-only" environment, with
opportunities to see and meet women in math/science career roles as they do their work. Girls will be offered opportunities
to hear about a wide range of courses and experiences to consider in developing their own personal plans.
Outcomes for girls include gains in:
- confidence and ability in math and science
- awareness about the broad range of abilities and opportunities available
- appreciation for and skill in developing a plan for their future
- strengthened relationships with their moms (or mentors)
