General Announcements 

Science, technology, engineering and math conference for sixth- through eighth-grade girls is Oct. 31 at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College will host the eighth annual Expanding Your Horizons Conference for girls in sixth- through eighth-grade—plus their parents, teachers and troop leaders—from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Presented by Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics, the conference nurtures girls’ interest in science and math courses through hands-on workshops to encourage them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

There are 12 workshops available, and participants will have the opportunity to meet with mathematicians, engineers and scientists who live and work in the Wabash Valley. These local workshop leaders will relate how they use math and science in their careers.

While the focus of the conference is to provide hands-on learning experiences for girls, the conference offers a special session for accompanying adults to provide information on educational and career opportunities involving STEM. Participants will learn how to encourage and motivate girls to remain interested in math and science.

The cost is $20, and the registration deadline is Oct. 23.
