This event takes place on a Saturday in the Spring at a local university.  All girls currently participating in the Girls in Science Program and their mothers are invited.  The event now involves over 200 girls, moms, and teachers each year!

 

Girls spend about one hour in each of four labs belonging to women scientists.  The girls are given a brief tour of each lab but spend the majority of the hour conducting experiments using equipment and materials found in the lab.
