Young women aged 14-15 visited the GCI to learn about the importance of female representation in STEM.
This bi-annual outreach event is hosted to encourage young women to pursue careers in stem by showing them that the field is accessible to them, and to give graduate students at the GCI the opportunity to act as role models and participate in science outreach activities.
The students learned about the groundbreaking scientific contributions women have made over the years, and heard an introduction to the academic career path, and scientific career options outside of academia too!
