Purpose
The purpose of the Montford SciGirls club is to change the way girls think about science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) and inspire them to explore science and art-related careers and activities.

SciGirls is a PBS program that inspires girls to explore the world around them and discover that science and technology are everywhere. WFSU and the National High Magnetic Laboratory are the SciGirls Connect partners in the North Florida area.

Why?
Research shows that for a variety of reasons, many girls begin to lose interest in math and science in middle school. Once this interest is lost, it rarely returns. Middle school girls need encouragement to build confidence in their abilities and develop a positive attitude toward STEM and STEM careers. By offering the STEAM program, we would like to expose middle school girls to the principles of STEM with a spark of Art.
Meeting Dates -The 2nd and 4th WEDNESDAY of each month 8:30am
Applications will be available in late August and are due in the first part of September. Please listen for announcements on the school news and the Listserv.
