The WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) group at Mohawk Valley Community College will host a Girls in STEM Expo from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 3, in the Alumni College Center at the College’s Utica Campus. Admission is free, but registration is required by Feb. 16. To register, visit https://tinyurl.com/mvccstem.
This innovative event, co-sponsored by WISE, the MVCC Foundation, MVCC’s Center for Corporate and Community Education, and MVCC STEP/CSTEP, is designed to introduce girls in grades six through eight to opportunities in the historically male-dominated fields of engineering and science. The day is run by MVCC’s female science faculty, and includes hands-on science experiments in biology, chemistry, computer science, physics, and more, and an engineering challenge with prizes. A snack will be provided.
For more information, contact Assistant Professor Melissa Barlett by email at mbarlett@mvcc.edu<mailto:mbarlett@mvcc.edu> or by phone at 315-792-5471.
MVCC’s WISE group is dedicated to educating, advancing, and mentoring women in the pursuit of STEM-related fields at MVCC. To learn more, visit www.mvcc.edu/academic-programs/wise<http://www.mvcc.edu/academic-programs/wise>.
