Sacramento State's Center for STEM Excellence and the non-profit group Women of AT&T will host the 2nd Annual Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Conference on the Sacramento State Campus on Saturday, October 4, 2008.

 

This event is a one-day science and math conference for 6th-8th grade girls, designed to encourage and empower young women to pursue education and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

 

Learning experiences include:

  • Fun Hands-On Workshops

  • Parent/Caregiver Activities

  • Discussion and Interaction with Industry Leaders & University Faculty and Students

 

Although the focus of the EYH conference is to provide hands-on learning experiences for girls, we also organize a special session for accompanying adults to give them information on educational and career opportunities involving science, math, and engineering.

 

Other highlights of EYH include a keynote speech by Dr. Kirsten Sanford http://www.kirstensanford.com/science-resume/ and career demonstration booths sponsored by local professionals.
