Women pursuing a STEM major at St. Norbert College and professionals in STEM fields volunteer their time to create and conduct this workshop experience for middle-school girls. The goal is to give the girls, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, greater exposure to the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math). They are supervised by SNC women students in STEM, who share stories of success and challenges in related fields. Youth participation is a coordinated effort with area middle schools and SNC's multicultural student services department. Enrollment is held to a low student-to-mentor ratio to ensure a high-quality experience.
