Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) mission is to encourage young women to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. Through EYH conferences, STEM role models and hands-on activities are provided for middle school girls.
Research indicates that attending the conference has a long-term positive influence on the participants. Young women who attended the conference indicated that they took more advance math and science classes in high school, planned to continue on to higher education. Their attitudes toward math and science were rated more positive than those who did not attend.
A follow up survey revealed that the students who attended EYH also explored additional information about non-traditional STEM careers. The evaluators concluded that the EYH conferences were an effective and low cost intervention.
Our ultimate goal is to motivate girls to become innovative and creative thinkers ready to meet 21st Century challenges.

Tuesday May 18, 2010
