• 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)
