EYH 2024 STEM Conference for 6-10 Grade Girls

Since 2002, our largest program is an annual STEM conference for girls in grades 6-10, connecting 200-300 girls from around San Diego County with STEM professionals in the San Diego community. Participants engage with local STEM established and emerging professionals through three hands-on workshops. Each group of 15-20 girls is mentored by 2-3 female STEM undergraduate students, providing the girls with additional STEM-based interactions.  Our goal is to increase the girls’ interest in STEM careers by providing exciting and engaging hands-on learning experiences. In our current pandemic situation, we are excited to provide virtual workshop opportunities for San Diego girls. EYH San Diego is a proud member of the EYH National Network supported by Techbridge Girls!
