| Have you thought about what you're going to do after high school
or college? Do you dream about an exciting career?
It's time to get started! Most rewarding careers today require
some knowledge of science and math.
The next EYH will be in March
2013. |

Expanding Your Horizons in Math and Science is an all-day conference
for 6th through 12 grade girls. Advanced written registration
is required because participants select the workshops they will
attend. .

In this career conference,
you will meet women who use science and math in their careers as
well as women in non-traditional careers. These outstanding women
are eager to share their career paths with you, to answer your questions,
and to encourage you to go for it! During the workshops, you will
see for yourself some of the things these women do on the job. You
will also learn about promising career opportunities and the training
you need to qualify for them. |
After 'Expanding Your Horizons' girls say:
•"This
conference helped me see other options for what I can do once I'm out
of school."
•"Now,
I definitely know what I want to be. Thanks!"
•"It
made me start to think about my future."
Expanding Your Horizons is a conference for 6th through 12th grade young
women to learn about career opportunities in math and science. Science
and math careers are fun, exciting, and rewarding and so is Expanding
Your Horizons. Conference participants conduct lab experiments, wire high-tech
phone systems, examine microscopic creatures, and design their own computer
software. Each girl attends three hands-on workshops during the all-day
conference. During the day, the girls participate in a problems and puzzles
contest. Contest winners recieve A Day With a Scientist. Expanding Your
Horizons has been held at Skyline College annually since 1980. Over 20,000
young women have attended. Expanding Your Horizons is sponsored by the
Genentech Foundation for Biomedical Sciences. During the conference, Skyline
students escort participants to their sessions. A smaller concurrent program
is held for interested adults. The Expanding
Your Horizons Planning committee are volunteers who work in science- and
math-related fields.
