girl in science

On Saturday, over lovely KGO attended the Girls in Science event at UW River Falls campus.
Here is an event description from the UWRF site:

The University of Wisconsin-River Falls will host a Girls in SCIENCE: Seeing, Creating, Inventing, Exploring, Naming, Cooperating, and Experimenting event on campus Saturday, April 16. The program aims to encourage and promote girls' full participation in a wide range of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.

Participants will meet scientists, professors, and UWRF students while cycling through several 40-minute fun, engaging activities. Morning topics will include astronomy and a planetarium show, chemistry, ecology and environmental studies, and DNA extraction. Afternoon topics will include computer science, aviation, biology and medicine, forensic science, and physics.

She attended the afternoon session and enjoyed the biology and medicine and forensic science stations the most. It was a beautiful day to be a scientist!
