4-H STEM Career Series: Women in STEM, Every Monday & Wednesday March 29th-April 28th at 6:00 p.m.
We are excited to announce a new statewide series around 4-H STEM Careers. This series will run every Monday & Wednesday from March 29th to April 28th at 6:00 p.m. This new series will feature women in a various types of STEM careers, majors and at different levels in their career and education. We will use an Interview type format for these sessions that will last for 30-45 minutes. The goal is for the speaker to talk about their career path and education, and then be open for questions for the last 20-30 minutes. We will have some questions prepared, but will also be asking for questions from those in attendance. We will be sending out a zoom link to those registered. This is open to youth in 3rd-12th grades. Youth can register here: www.tinyurl.com/4HSTEMCareers.
