The so-called STEM careers – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – took center stage as SMART (Science & Math Applications in Real-World Technologies) Girls returned to Penn College this week.
The popular program was begun in March 2001 to expose young women to careers in emerging technological fields while boosting their foundation (and their confidence) in math and the sciences. The June 16-19 residential offering, coordinated by the Outreach for K-12 office, hosted girls entering grades nine to 12 and included workshops in gaming, web design, hospitality and welding.
