About Expanding Your Horizons
The University of Central Florida’s College of Engineering and Computer Science proudly presents the Expanding Your Horizons Conference. The Conference will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2008 on the UCF campus. Two hundred and forty girls, grades 6-8, will be participating in the conference.
The UCF Expanding Your Horizons Program is aimed at introducing Central Florida girls to exciting careers in Science, Math and Engineering fields.
With the gracious support of women engineers in our community and UCF students, participants will experience a taste of college life during their visit to the UCF Engineering Buildings, hear about exciting opportunities for women in engineering, visit UCF labs and participate in “hands-on” science and math activities!
While the girls are in workshops, parents and chaperones are invited to stay and learn, too. Registered adults will attend simultaneous workshops that tell you “Why” your daughters should choose to study math, science, and engineering and “How” you can help prepare them.
Registration will open January 1, 2008. The deadline for Registration is February 8, 2008. We are limited to 240 student participants so register early! Last year, we had a waiting list.
