Snacks with Scientists is an annual outreach event designed to encourage 7th and 8th grade girls to explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) related fields. Studies show that if girls aren't interested in STEM by the 7th or 8th grade, they are very unlikely to pursue a career in STEM later on. The gender gap in STEM careers seems to be widening and we want to help girls learn more about the many career paths available in STEM. Our goal is to introduce girls in Monmouth County to STEM now, so that they will be part of the future of those fields.
What is Snacks with Scientists?
Students will be able to meet and talk to successful women who have a wide variety of experiences in the academic and professional world, while enjoying delicious snacks. To read more about our scientists, please visit our Meet the Scientists page. High Tech student volunteers will also be joining in to help facilitate conversations.
Snacks with Scientists is also a charitable event that will donate all proceeds to an organization which provides housing assistance and programs for women and children dealing with domestic violence. Snacks with Scientists will be hosted by the National Honor Society at High Technology High School on October 18th from 3:00 - 5:30 pm. All girls in 7th or 8th grade are invited to register and experience an afternoon filled with conversations, snacks, and all things STEM! |
