Workshop Leaders Hands-on workshops are the central Making Connections group activity. They are the vehicle for igniting interest in science, math, and technology and for demonstrating the breadth of opportunities in those fields. See What the students said for more details on the previous workshops. Leading a Making Connection workshop is a rewarding way to interact with young women and a make a significant contribution to the UW Women s Center mission. Workshop leaders serve as role models and their enthusiasm for the work is as important as the workshop content.
Leaders talk about their career paths and professional experiences with the students.
