Description

Although there is an increase of career opportunities in science and technology fields, various research continues to reflect the under-representation of women in these areas. Panelists will report on their experiences in hosting summer math, science and/or technology camps being used to try and reverse this trend. They will discuss how data collected from camp sessions indicates that efforts to reverse this trend must be initiated at ages earlier than previously noted. The panelists will share successful and unsuccessful ideas and camp age appropriate activities, as well as advertising and implementation details.
