About the conference

Expanding Your Horizons is an international program for girls like YOU (age 11-15) who come from public and private schools. At the Contra Costa College EYH conference, you will participate in an exciting and fun-filled day of hands-on science, technology, engineering and mathematics activities led by professional women scientists and engineers. You will perform actual science experiments in small groups and talk with women from many different fields. You could discover how your iPod is built, launch a comet, look at brain MRIs, find the link between cooking and chemistry and much more!

Come and find out what types of exciting careers exist in math, science and technology. Discover your passion. 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.
