About the conference
Each year WISE sponsors the Expanding Your Horizons conference, which provides middle school and high school aged students with an opportunity to get excited about science, engineering, technology and math! At EYH, students participate in hands-on scientific workshops, interact with role models, listen to a variety of professionals speak about a typical day on their job, and experience what a day on campus at the University of Arizona feels like. The conference is always inspirational, fun and engaging! |
