Expand Your Horizons (EYH) Conference - The Women in the Sciences and Engineering (WISE) Institute will host the nineteenth annual Expand Your Horizons (EYH) Conference for 6th-9th grade students (ages 11-15) from the Centre Region at University Park. Expand Your Horizons is a program that was developed by the Math/Science Network in California in 1976. The goals of EYH are to increase young women’s interest in mathematics, science, and engineering through positive hands-on experiences; foster awareness of career opportunities in scientific and technical fields; and provide young women with positive role models who are active in scientific and technical careers. SWE will be having a workshop at the conference and we will be needing volunteers!
