Girls in Science

 

Girls in Science: Fostering confidence in the sciences through extracurricular, educational programming

Girls in Science is a free, afterschool, science enrichment program for girls in Eagle County School District elementary schools in 3rd through 5th grades who want to explore various science topics. 

The program was piloted in 2007 and is now offered in nine Eagle County public elementary schools: Avon Elementary, Brush Creek Elementary, Eagle Valley Elementary, Edwards Elementary, Gypsum Elementary, Homestake Peak Elementary, Red Hill Elementary, and Red Sandstone Elementary.

Why Be Part of Girls in Science?

The program was developed to address a national trend of girls falling academically behind in science classes by their middle and high school years. The core purpose of the program is to foster a love of learning in STEM subjects and inspire young women to take an interest in STEM fields of study in the future.
