Northern Kentucky Girls in Science
Introducing 6th grade girls to women scientists

Overview | Presentation List | Info for Teachers | Info for Scientists | News | Home

Welcome! The Northern Kentucky Girls in Science Program connects local women scientists from academia, government, and industry with area schools. School administrators, teachers, and parents are encouraged to begin an after school science club for 6th grade girls. The club meets approximately once a month for an hour. At each of the meetings a local woman scientist visits with the girls, discussing her current job, why she became a scientist, how her job is useful to society, what it took to get the job, etc. The scientist also provides a hands-on activity related to her field, engaging the girls in an interactive science lesson.
