Join this middle school science club just for girls! Where they learn to turn ideas into reality through a creative, fun, inventive, approach to science. Why girls? According to the "Equitable Treatment of Girls and Boys in the Classroom" (June 1989) by the American Association of University Women Report, studies show that girls as young as age two or three are aware of occupational segregation. We are working to break this gender stereotype/bias by pushing girls to follow their dreams by supporting and feeding their curiosity. AWSEM club meetings will be held during winter and spring term by undergraduate women studying science and engineering fields.
