SUMMARY:Women and Girls in Science @ King Community Center
DESCRIPTION:What comes to mind when you think of a scientist? Most people imagine a man in a white lab coat who looks like Einstein. This open-house-style event aims to break the stereotype of who can be successful in STEAM (science\, technology\, engineering\, art\, math) fields. Girls (and boys) can catch the “science bug” through hands-on activities and learn about female STEAM pioneers and their important contributions to our world. Local women leaders from various STEAM backgrounds present hands-on activities so young women can connect with a potential mentor and everyone can see that anyone can be a scientist! \nRecommended for ages 10 and up. \nEvent is free\, held at King Community Center. Advanced registration required.\nThank you to our event sponsor: \n \nIn partnership with:
