The STEM for Girls Think Tank is an annual gathering of the educational leaders from around the country who are passionate about educating young women. The purpose of our conference is to find ways to better prepare and encourage young women to study
the four STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) with the long-range goal to have more young women pursue careers in these fields. The event allows for open-ended discussion among attendees as well as keynote speakers and presentations.
Facilitators will lead STEM discussion groups in conversations centering around sharing best practices, brainstorming ideas on how best to encourage our students to pursue studies in the four STEM areas, and planning future STEM-related initiatives and
collaborations.
This year we welcome Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Dr. Linda Swarlis from the Columbus School for Girls. On Thursday morning, Dr. Hrabowski will discuss with us strategies for Overcoming the
Odds: Creating a Climate of Success for Girls and Young Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). On Friday, Dr. Swarlis will speak on STEM and Spatial Ability (Spatial Intelligence).
You can register for the Think Tank or find more information on Harpeth Hall's web site, www.harpethhall.org.
Please let me know if you have questions or need more information. Registration is limited, so register now to reserve your spot!
I look forward to seeing you in November.
