Youth Programs

Girls in Science

Girls entering grades 6-8

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 middle school girls to pursue science and mathematics at a time when many girls lose interest in such programs. The goals of this program are to offer intensive academic exploration, provide you with the opportunity to work with other young women of similar abilities and interests, and create an environment where talents need not be hidden. In addition to the science activities, you will experience 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. Girls in Science is co-sponsored with the Wisconsin Center for Academically Talented Youth (WCATY).
