TWU Offers Math and Science Conference for Middle School Girls


If your daughter harbors a passion for mathematics and science — particularly a passion for careers in the fields of chemistry, zoology, entomology, engineering and nursing — fuel her need for knowledge by signing her up for Texas Woman’s University’s biannual “Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics” conference for middle-school aged girls on Feb 16th.

Participants will meet female leaders in the fields of math and science and learn about potential careers, as well as the education and skills that each career requires. Additionally, the conference offers workshops on the topics of chemistry, zoology, entomology, engineering, nursing and other topics. Attendees may choose to attend all sessions that they find of interest.

Teachers and parents also are invited to attend, and may choose to sit-in on sessions such as: Picking Out Courses, How to Use a Graphing Calendar and How to Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships.

The conference (for girls in grades 6-8) runs from 8:15am-12:30pm on the TWU Denton campus. Registration costs $10 per person and is open to the first 350 girls who apply. (Scholarships for attendees are available.) Registration ends Feb 2. For more information, click here.
