EYO gives seventh grade girls in the greater New York City area the opportunity to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through interactive experiments.

Women scientists and science educators will lead students in experiments and model building. These experts will also stand out as role models—women with successful STEM careers.
