Science is cool. So is technology, engineering, arts, and math. And when our community rallies around getting girls excited about STEAM, the results really rock. This day-long, interactive mentoring event, hosted within the walls of a regional STEAM employer, connects the Fox Cities science and tech community with girls in area high schools. Smart Girls Rock! is designed to inspire students' interest in STEAM careers and provide them the academic and career planning guidance they need to get where they want to go.
