Free, one-day conference helps students learn from Oklahoma’s top female scientists and engineers
The Women in STEAM Conference encourages young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) fields.
The free, one-day conference is designed to allow students in grades six through 12 to engage in hands-on science activities; learn first-hand about science and technology career opportunities from Oklahoma’s top female scientists and engineers; and receive college preparation information from Oklahoma college, university and outreach representatives.
The goal of the Women in STEAM conference is to show students that STEAM careers are exciting, attainable and rewarding. The conference provides young people with real-world examples of science and engineering career opportunities and allows them to meet successful women scientists, doctors and engineers from our state.
Teachers attending the event receive valuable information including classroom resource materials and suggestions for supporting and encouraging students’ interest in STEAM disciplines.
The Women in STEAM Conference is brought to you through the generous support of the Greater Oklahoma Chapter of the Women’s Energy Network. Additional support provided by the Oklahoma Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), in collaboration with the National Science Foundation, Science Museum Oklahoma, and other funding agencies.
