Would you like to participate in scientific experiments, learn through hands-on activities and find out about a variety of scientific fields?

Girls in Science is meant to encourage science and mathematics for middle school girls, a time when many girls drop out of such programs. Girls who participate in this program work with UW-La Crosse faculty, many of whom are women. The goals of this program are to offer intensive academic exploration, provide students with the opportunity to work with other young women of similar abilities and interests, and create an environment in which no one feels the need to hide their talent. In addition to the science activities, the students are provided a full campus experience with an overnight stay in a campus residence hall, meals on campus and social activities with peer students, university student assistants and faculty.
