The girls will learn about STEM resources and meet role models based in Eastern North Carolina as well as participate in activities. Register online for the program.
GEST began as a one-day event for middle school girls at the Duke University Marine Laboratory.
Because interest in GEST surpassed the maximum participation capacity, UNC IMS is offering the similar one-day program for high school girls.
Girls Exploring Science & Technology welcomes participation from all female-identifying and gender nonconforming students.
