Expanding your horizons!! 


Do you  like science? We'll some girls at our school do.  Earlier this year a group of girls participated in the program called, "Expanding Your Horizons."  This is a program for girls who are interested in science, math, technology, and engineering.  This program is hosted by MSU in Bozeman, Montana.  Your group guides are college girls from the university.  The motto of this program is the acronym S.T.E.M which stands for Science Technology Engineering and Math.  There is a whole variety of activities and there are numerous groups.  Each group had a different set of activities planned out for the day.  Some of these activities included origami math, archaeology, magnet math, engineering safe drinking water, and using DNA to improve livestock production.  They host this program annually me have a new subject or theme every year.  The subject of this year, 2014, was nanotechnology.  This program encouraged young girls to take interest and change the world!! This program normally occurs at the beginning of April.  Also, lunch is provided and other small fun activities.  This also creates a chance for young girls to meet new people! I believe this program really expanded the interest in the works of S.T.E.M for many girls! I mean it says it in the title!! I would recommend this program for all girls especially if you are interested in the world of science!!
