Local junior high and high school students attend a keynote address, and attend workshops led by women scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
Limited slots are available for girls who live outside of Maine.
This is an enrichment program of instruction with cultural and laboratory experiences designed to stimulate and reinforce enthusiasm for learning. The program helps girls become better problem-solvers, builds their confidence in math and beyond, and gives them a taste of college life. The aim of this annual conference is to give undergraduate women the opportunity to present their research and to meet other women who share their interest in the mathematical sciences. Partial funding is available for participants, and recommendations for undergraduates who should be personally invited to attend are welcome. The program, primarily directed toward undergraduate students who have completed their second or third year of college, is designed to attract students into scientific careers by placing participants in working contact with experienced research scientists and engineers.
