UT STEM Girl Day gives K-8th graders "an opportunity to explore STEM through grade-appropriate, hands-on activities" hosted by STEM enthusiasts from diverse occupations and roles.
Our members helped in constructing fun, interactive activities for families to play. And on the day of the event, they volunteered around the clock to manage stations, all while teaching children important mathematical or scientific concepts. You can look for this event in February on our mailing list and Discord.
We started this program to give interested highschoolers the experience of what a Day in the Life is like for a math major at UT. In this program, the highschoolers would follow their respective student guide around campus for a day, with food provided by AWM. This also gives high schoolers a chance to ask the student guide questions concerning the major from a first-hand perspective.
Organized by our beloved club sponsor, Dr. Austin, Girl Scouts STEM Exploration Day was held to give girls a chance to have hands-on experience with math concepts seen naturally but hardly noticed by the untrained eye. This event was fully supported by AWM volunteers who aren't afraid of having fun.
