Girls Have IT Day! is an event for middle school girls to become engaged and excited about Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM)!
A guest speaker kicks off the day of 'STEAM' related, hands-on activities to follow. We believe in the power of near-peer mentoring and creating engaging, supportive learning environments with the empowering message of “You can do it, too!”. GHITD employs a "conference" model. Each 25-minute session will be sponsored by a different group thus allowing middle school girls to spend more time engaged with high school mentors and hands on activities. After your RSVP has been processed, we will be contacting you to fill out a session registration for each middle school guest. Girls Have IT Day! We greatly appreciate your interest in this singular event! Please let us know if you have any questions: Catherine Wyman: cwyman@xcp.org Frances McMahon Ward: fmcmahonward@xcp.org
