Summer Summit

The annual Summer Summit event invites high school girls age 13+ to spend a week learning about key STEM topics while also being exposed to practical skills that will aid in building a successful career.  They will be able to connect with seasoned professionals and will learn how these skills can apply to different career paths, from data sciences to pharmaceuticals to engineering. Themes vary from year to year.  Previous Summer Summits have allowed students to learn practical coding languages and skills in preparation for STEM careers, while introducing them to the latest technologies, such as cryptocurrency, robotics and artificial intelligence. The Summer Summit is a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills and get an in-depth glimpse into what it is like to have a career in STEM!
