Thank you to all of those who have registered, we will provide more details by email as the event approaches. The showcase will be open to all Science World visitors on November 5.

The Girls and STEAM Summit is back in-person.

Calling all girls ages 12-14! If you're curious about the dynamic world of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & design, and math), then the Girls and STEAM Summit is the place for you!

Join us on November 5 for a free, action-packed day of workshops, hands-on activities, sessions with STEAM mentors, a showcase, and an amazing keynote presentation from Tanya Gupta.

What is Girls and STEAM?

Girls and STEAM is a Science World program that encourages young girls and women to pursue their scientific interests and explore careers in STEAM by expanding their knowledge of and access to STEAM opportunities.

The program dispels myths about STEAM occupations and gives girls a welcoming space to engage in STEAM-based activities in order to increase their interest and confidence. It also highlights the local community and resources available to girls and women in STEAM.

In addition to our annual Girls and STEAM Summit, we regularly hold mentorship events throughout the year.

While the terms “women” and “girls” are used for this program, we invite attendees and mentors who identify as women, girls, trans, genderqueer, non-binary, two-spirit, and gender questioning.

Event Information

Registration

This year, registration will be done using a lottery system to ensure that that the process is fair and equitable for all attendees.

In a lottery system, when you click register, you will be prompted to join the waitlist; you will be added to a list of potential attendees from which we will randomly select 300 girls. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot at the event.

If you’re entering multiple children, please add one entry for each child. (Please use your name and email address–the child’s information will be collected later).

If selected, you will receive an email from Eventbrite inviting you to claim your spot and complete registration. This must be completed for each child who is selected to register.
