You are invited to take part in our 2nd annual Women & Girls in STEM event on Saturday, Feburary 8th, 2020 to celebrate International Women and Girls in STEM Day! This year's theme of "Explore STEM" is intended to expose participants to all the diverse areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and showcase how it is changing the world!

*NOTE: Although this event is intended to celebrate International Women and Girls in STEM Day, we encourage and welcome anyone interested in taking part to register for the event! We strive to promote inclusivity and diversity in science.

There are two different event styles that will be used throughout the day based on grade. Please read the description below and select the ticket type that is most appropriate to the participant. Both options are FREE!

• Young Scientist (Grades 1 - 6): The activites will be booth-style and participants are free to travel from one station to the next at their own pace. All booths will feature hands-on activities and/or demonstrations from all STEM fields. To register for this ticket type, please select "Young Scientist" in the ticket option.
• Senior Scientist (Grades 7 - 12): This will be a structured event. Participants will work through 3-4 workshops (~ 1 hour in length) throughout the day. The workshops will allow participants to work with others and a facilitator to solve real-world problems using STEM knowledge! To register for this ticket type, please select "Senior Scientist" in the ticket option. A form will be sent at a later date to the e-mail registered which will allow participants to rank workshop preferences.

Participants will be able to meet and talk to current female science students over a pizza lunch. This a pizza fundraiser for $1.50/slice. Participants are asked to bring a drink and/or water bottle and they are welcome to bring their own lunch.
