About the conference

Expanding Your Horizons is an international program for girls like YOU (grades 6-8) who come from public, private, parochial and home schools. At the Evansville EYH conference, you will participate in an exciting and fun-filled morning of hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities led by professional women. You will perform actual science experiments or other hands-on activities in small groups and talk with women scientists and engineers. Go on an energy treasure hunt, design your own logo, find the secrets behind all those CSI television shows and more!

Come and find out what types of exciting careers exist in math and science. Meet real women engineers, scientists and mathematicians...and discover your passion.

Don't forget to tell your parents about EYH too! There will be special workshops just for them where they can ask questions and interact with other parents throughout the morning.
