ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Engaging Girls in STEM Education'

STEM Education is important for all but are our girls really getting all they need to be engineers, scientists, or mathematicians. In my presentation, "Engaging Girls in STEM Education" educators will be presented with teaching strategies based on research and practice that engage girls in Project Based Learning as well as Independent Inquiry. The three labs conducted tie into agriculture and learning more about the food we grow and the structures we build in order to grow field. Educators will leave with lesson plans, resources, and activities to use in their classrooms. Not limited to girls, materials are boy friendly.
