9:00 am - 12:00 pm
I have no doubt that the training and general content we experienced over the three-month 6-sessions will help us to provide fun and meaningful program activities for hundreds of deserving youth in our afterschool programs. Through your training sessions, you have given us the skills and opportunity to help youth to think and plan their future in STEAM. You have given us some awesome ideas to plan and work with kids at all levels. I would strongly recommend your program to anyone who is seeking a way to get kids excited about STEAM.

Engaging Girls in STEAM: Inspiring Future Generations
Do you have girls in your program who are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) and you are not sure how to support them to pursue their interests? Research shows that girls begin to lose both their interest and confidence in science and STEAM by middle school.
In this training, participants will be introduced to successful women in STEAM careers and learn how to create a safe, fun, STEAM learning experience for ALL YOUTH. Participants will leave this training with ready-to-go activities and videos that will introduce youth to professional women in STEAM and support girls (and all youth) to build confidence and skills in STEAM areas
CEUs: Upon successful completion of this training, the participant will earn 3 clock hours (.3 CEUs) of training. Click here to learn more
