Hi, WiSTEM ladies!

Next week is WiSTEM Week, a week in which we have planned the following exciting events revolving around girls in STEM:

Monday, December 7: STEM Sisters Lunch
Invite a girlfriend to eat lunch with you on Monday in S214. Pizza will be provided! This is a casual opportunity to hang with a friend, listen to music, eat pizza, and talk about STEM :)

Tuesday, December 8: Presentation by Dr. Paola Sapienza
On Tuesday, come to S214 to hear a presentation by Dr. Paola Sapienza about her research on women in STEM from a global perspective. Her work relates the gender gap in STEM to the amount of gender inequality within countries around the world.

Thursday, December 10: Presentation by Paige & Paxton
On Thursday, the mother-daughter trio who started the STEM brand Paige & Paxton will be here to discuss Paige & Paxton and their experiences as women in STEM. We will be in S214 for this event. Check out their website here. 

Friday, December 11: Student Panel
On Friday, we will have a panel (in A241) of female students to talk about their own experiences studying STEM. The audience will be composed of teachers here at ETHS, because the goal of the panel is to provide insight on how to make the STEM classroom environment more welcoming to girls. Anyone can be on the panel! If you're interested, please send us a quick email letting us know. We need approximately five junior or senior girls per lunch period. This is a great opportunity to let your voice be heard! 

Note: All events are during 4th, 5th, and 6th periods.

​If you can come to any of these events, we'd love to see you there!

Panel Members: We will have prep sessions on Wednesday and Thursday mornings during AM support. Please plan to attend at least one of these sessions to get an idea for what questions may be asked at the panel

Thank you to all the girls who attended the field trip today to the women's leadership panel at Northwestern University! It was very interesting to see what factors contribute the lack of female leaders in this country. We look forward to being able to take club members to more panels such as these in the future!

Hello Girls!
If you're interested in going on a field trip THIS Friday to experience a panel of women leaders in STEM, fill out and turn in the form attached before Thursday, (not the date it says on the form) to E328.
Only the first 12 girls that turn in the form get to go so make sure you do so before slots fill up!!!
See you there :)
Happy Tuesday!!

Hi Everyone!

Our next design challenge meeting is TOMORROW. We will be watching a cool video that talks about the greatest scientific challenges of our century, and then playing a fun game to design very "unique" structures. If you're curious (as we're sure all you scientists are), come to S321 during 4th Period or S303 during 5th and 6th Period tomorrow. 

We're super psyched and we know you are too!!

Hi WiSTEM ladies!!

We are so excited to announce that our FIRST EVER DESIGN CHALLENGE meeting will be THIS FRIDAY in Mr. Dubrow's room (Room S303). It is crazy exciting to be releasing this new event to you all! We will be practicing with the design process at this meeting including some awesome hands-on games and competitions. In the future, we are planning to submit to national design contests, so if you are interested in learning more, please come to this meeting!!!

Also, NEXT FRIDAY (October 30) we will be having a SPOOKY Halloween themed meeting. Location will be announced closer to the date. If you're wondering, "What could we possibly do for WiSTEM that is Halloween related?" I guess you'll just have to come to the meeting to find out!

Just a quick reminder that both of these meetings are bring your own lunch. We will have passes at our location if you need to go to the cafeteria first to buy a lunch before the meetings. 

Finally, please fill out this survey to tell us your t-shirt size for our FREE T-SHIRTS.

It's gonna be a great two weeks!
