About the conference

Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) in Albuquerque is a free conference for girls in the 5th-9th grade. This day-long event will include hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). At the conference, girls will get a chance to meet STEM role models and learn more about careers in those fields. Our ultimate goal is to motivate girls to become innovative and creative thinkers ready to meet 21st Century challenges.

All students should meet at registration at Dane Smith Hall, located on the UNM campus, on 28 January at 8:30 a.m.  Students will be transported in groups to the opening panel discussion and workshops.  If there are any questions please call (505) 250-1111.
Find out more about the National Expanding Your Horizons Organization by going to the National EYH Website and watch a video of girls enjoying an EYH event.
