Expanding Your Horizons in Math and Science Conference for Young Women

Expanding Your Horizons is a conference for 6th through 12th grade young women to learn about career opportunities in math and science. Science and math careers are fun, exciting, and rewarding and so is Expanding Your Horizons.

Conference participants conduct lab experiments, wire high-tech phone systems, examine microscopic creatures, and design their own computer software. Each girl attends three hands-on workshops during the all-day conference. During the day, the girls participate in a problems and puzzles contest. Contest winners receive A Day With a Scientist.

Expanding Your Horizons has been held at Skyline College annually since 1980. Over 20,000 young women have attended. Expanding Your Horizons is sponsored by the Genentech Foundation for Biomedical Sciences.
