Discover the Future, A Science and Math Extravaganza For Students in Grades 5 to 7
The AAUW Lansdale Branch of the American Association of University Women has a Math and Science program aimed at encouraging girls in grades 5-7 to enter into these fields of study, although all students are invited. The program is called Discover the Future, A Science and Math Extravaganza For Students in Grades 5 to 7 and the Lansdale AAUW has offered this program to students in the North Penn School District since 1993. This year, it will take place on March 20, 2010. In addition to the school district, our sponsors include a major pharmaceutical company, local businesses and community groups. The program is designed for 125 students per year. Keynote speakers for this program have included a woman astronaut, oceanographer, meteorologist, and archeologist. In addition to the keynote, students participate in hands-on workshops presented by a variety of area women scientists, mathematicians and medical professionals. Workshop presenters have included a civil engineer, archeologist, pilot, computer specialist, medical technologist, horticulturist, and so on. The students also have free time in an Exploration and Discovery Room, with math and science games, activities, and puzzles. The goals of this program are to make math and science interesting and to help the students realize the value of math and science in their lives. Discover the Future provides real life role models. By interacting with these "women in action" we want to encourage the students to recognize that they too can enjoy, and be successful in the math and science professions.
We need your expertise!!
Please read this letter which gives information about the program, and email Lee Wolfe if you or someone in your organization would like to participate in this year's program. We really hope you consider this opportunity to impact the lives of 5th, 6th and 7th grade girls and boys a great and worthwhile one. Please consider enriching our program with your talents.
