Program Blurb
Young women are invited to participate in a highly experiential and comprehensive summer program that exposes students to various art and science disciplines. In this program, students will explore the range of college degrees and career opportunities in science and art. Students will engage in hands-on activities to help develop their understanding of the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.). In addition, this program will ignite students’ curiosity and appreciation towards S.T.E.A.M. and help students determine their passions and interests.
