Expanding Your Horizons (EYH)
Early in March, Highline Community College Women's Programs and The American Association of University Women come together to promote the participation of young women in the science and math fields.
Despite the demand for well-educated workers and decades of work to bring women into highly skilled positions in fields such as math, science, engineering and technology, an overwhelming majority of young women still lack the confidence to enter these exciting careers.
By reaching out to girls in ninth through twelfth grades, Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) catches women at a pivotal point when they can still embark on educational paths towards highly skilled careers.
The goals of Expanding Your Horizons are threefold:
• Provide high school girls with opportunities to meet and interact with positive role models who have active professional careers in mathematics, science, and technology
* Give young women positive, hands-on experiences in these same fields
* Provide young women with clear information on opportunities for future careers in mathematics, science, engineering & technology.
