SciGirls 2: Day 10-Projects and SEAC

Can I just go ahead and say "Woah!" These past two weeks have flown by! We, Brynn, Colleen, and Kelly sincerely thank all of the girls for just being their awesome selves and their guardians for allowing them to participate in the camp; it truly was a blast. We started out the day by giving the girls a very open ended project; the theme of the project was to design a poster about their future career. Some girls included their possible future salaries and outline a map on how to achieve their dreams. I was surprised to see quite a few girls even research specific classes they would need to take. In addition, girls completed cost analysis to see whether and out-of-state school would be a good choice. We were delighted to see a range of future careers, from vets to graphic designers to a doctor specializing in gynecology and obstetrics! Whatever these ladies choose to do, we know that they will be some of the most successful ladies in their fields :) After a lunch we met with EGS/SAEC to complete archaeology dig and presentation. The girls learned a bit about archaeology and then headed outside to the mock dig site. The girls excavated different archeological remnants and collected data. When we got back inside we learned about the different aspects of our female guests archaeologists careers. Doors open to the reception at 5 and it starts promply at 5:30; it is sure to be a special night. A special thanks to Carlos Villa and Roxanne Hughes for allowing us to do the camp once again!
