Curiosity, Confidence, Challenge! – a statewide science, technology, engineering and math conference for middle school girls – will be held at Sycamore School on Saturday, March 8 from 8:30am - 3:00pm. The event is designed to heighten girls’ interest in scientific careers and help them select high school courses that will lead to success in college. The conference features a series of small group workshops led by women whose professions include architecture, biology, materials engineering, computer programming, veterinary medicine, and many more! Registrants will select four workshop preferences from a list of 27 disciplines. The conference will also feature two special science-related assemblies for all attendees: Animal Adaptations by Take Flight! Wildlife Education, and Good Vibrations – Sound Science by Science Central. Sycamore parent Dr. Catherine Hagerman Pangan will lead a lunchtime theater program, Science Shake Up: Thinking About Science in New Ways. Although parents may not attend the workshops with their daughters, they are encouraged to attend a free parent forum from 2:00-3:00 in the theater. Carlabeth E. Mathias, Mathias Counseling and Consulting, will present Confident Girls: Building Friendships and Handling Conflicts. This event is open to any girl in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade.
