STEAM COURSES: AT-A-GLANCE

@ UC

The Science Junior Academy for Girls @ UC SAN DIEGO offers fascinating and fun learning experiences in science, technology and engineering, with applied mathematics and art design (STEAM) for girls entering @ UC SAN DIEGO grades 6 through 12 in 2016-2017. During these workshops, students assume Junior Academy the roles of space explorer, ocean engineer or computer scientist as they for Middle and High School Girls immerse themselves in hands-on projects. Top-notch STEAM instructors lead these workshops, serving as both teachers and role models. The workshops Summer STEAM Workshops also incorporate real-life stories of vibrant women conducting research in each field. Their examples inspire students and help make STEAM careers JUNIOR ACADEMY FOR GIRLS more accessible. July 11-29, 2016 On the last day of each session, students participate in a showcase to share 1-week courses // 3-hour classes // $150 per course what they created and learned with students in other workshops.
