AMARILLO, Texas(KAMR/KCIT) —Girls Who Science is a NEW program put on by the Don Harrington Discovery Center. Girls aged 10-18 will learn from women in the STEM industry, conduct interactive experiments, and explore career-focused STEM activities AT NO COST to participants.
This program will begin on Feb. 6 and be the first Monday of every month from 4:45 pm to 6:00 pm.
Esteemed women professionals in the STEM industry will be brought in for conversations, a presentation, and Q&A’s with young women aspiring to go into STEM. After the presentation from the guest speaker, the Discovery Center will also provide an activity related to their field of study.
“Our mission is to provide a fun environment where our female youth can understand what they can achieve and the steps it takes to meet these goals,” Jen Noble, Community Engagement Manager.
Medicine, engineering, coding, biology, and animal science are just the start of what DHDC plans to cover in this program. Young women in upper elementary school through high school are encouraged to attend.
