Expanding Your Horizons
Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) in Science and Mathematics™ conferences nurture girls' interest in science and math courses to encourage them to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Every spring at WSU Tri-Cities in Richland, EWS-SWE members participate by organizing and presenting at this enriching event for middle school girls.
Volunteers are needed for the planning committee, to participate, contact Marji Parker.

Get Involved Now!
Get excited about GLAM and help girls learn about the manufacturing process!
Columbia Basin College is working with TRIDEC to host a “Girls Learning About Manufacturing” (GLAM) event the day prior to the SmartMap Manufacturing Expo held annually at the TRAC. This event will be on Wednesday, September 29th from 9:00am to 2:00pm and includes a working lunch. We will be hosting 100 freshman and sophomore girls from Delta High School to come to the CBC Campus to participate in hands-on activities enlightening them to the possibilities in the world of manufacturing.
They are looking for 12 mentors who are willing to direct the students through the hands-on process of producing a product to market. In addition, we’d like to provide the students with either a guest speaker (mostly motivational in content) or a panel of professionals for discussion over the lunch hour. These panel members might also come from the pool of mentors who’d been working with the teams on their products.
Please email Keeley Grant if you are interested or for more information.
STEM outreach!
Are interested in being in guest lecturer at Delta High School?
They have been asking for professionals to come in and help teach some subjects, for say 1 hr lecture and one hour lab. The one that they needed last year was 1/2 life analysis and graphing. If you are interested, please email Denise for more information.
