Texas Tech Sponsors Girl-focused STEM Conference


Tech Savvy is a one-day STEM conference designed for 6th through 9th grade female students and their parents. The program's purpose is to help young girls discover realistic STEM careers and pathways to education, and equip parents to be an encouraging and reinforcing part of the process. All parents are encouraged to attend, however, if the students want to come alone, with their friends or a teacher, that's great, too! During registration, students will be able to select their top  choices for workshops. Any adult attending with the student will be participating in the adult program, and will also need to register.
