Girls in Science is meant to encourage girls to stay active in science and mathematics in middle school - a time when many girls drop out of such programs. Girls who participate in this program will work with UW-La Crosse faculty, many of whom are women.
The goals of this program are to offer intensive academic exploration, provide students with the opportunity to work with other young women of similar abilities and interest, and create an environment in which no one feels the need to hide their talent.In addition to the science activities, the students will participate in a full campus experience with an overnight stay in a residence hall, meals on campus, and social activities with peer students, university student assistants and faculty.
