Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) conference is a dynamic conference with the mission to encourage young women to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers by providing women STEM role models and hands-on workshops and activities. EYH brings women from a wide range of industries and professions to work with young middle school-age girls in an exciting hands-on environment. Over the course of the conference day, girls experience new activities and engage in discussions about current opportunities in STEM fields. This conference is often a once in a life-time opportunity for some girls to engage with female role models working in STEM professions.
We need volunteers at all levels, workshop presenters, STEM and College exhibitors, day-of helpers, etc.
The next EYH conference is on Saturday October 13, 2018.
