Women In Science


Helping over 100 young women who are in grades 6-8 explore career options 
         in the fields of science, math, and technology.

The 2008 Women In Science program was a great success.  Plans for the next event are underway; please check back for more information.

The NJWC’s Women In Science & Math Conference is an all day event that allows over 100 young women who are in grades 6-8 to explore career options in the fields of science, math, and technology. Exp

Goals of the Conference

The middle school years are often when young girls begin to shy away from science and math. Lack of encouragement, social stigmas, and few visible women role models are among factors that lead many young girls in a different direction. At NJWC’s conference professional women:
  • serve as role models
  • discuss their careers
  • provide hands-on experiences for participants
  • spark an interest in math and science
  • foster an awareness of career opportunities
  • present science and math in a way that is fun, educational, and relevant to daily life
