HMNS Careers in Science

If YOU:

  • LOVE science
  • Know NOTHING about science
  • Would like to learn MORE about science

Girls – there’s something GREAT waiting for YOU!

What do REAL female scientists do on a REAL workday? YOU will conduct real experiments and explore real scientific theories with a woman who is active in the science field of your choice. The Careers in Science series is designed to help girls become aware of the career options they have in science by hands-on fun activities and experiments. Questions?
