SciGirls program (girls aged 9-14yrs)
PARI SciGirls programs target girls ages 9-14 and are designed to change how girls think about science by engaging them with fun, hands-on projects. Monthly programs on a variety of topics are scheduled on varying Tuesdays during the school year at PARI or at the 4H Office in the Community Services Building in downtown Brevard, NC.
Each month’s program will lead young girls to try a different facet of science and bring real connections to that field for their pursuit beyond the monthly program. Local, statewide, national and international opportunities to explore science will be shared. Connections to a national PBS website celebrating girls’ explorations in science will also be emphasized each month.
Program registration is requested and a fee of $10 is required. This fee is non-refundable. Confirmation of payment of the fee holds the girl’s spot in our program.
PARI requires that an adult accompany all children while on PARI’s campus. Please plan to enjoy the program with this in mind.
Programs run during the school year (September – May) and are typically scheduled the last Tuesday of the month.
