GIRLS DISCOVER STEM

The AAUW Corpus Christi Branch sponsors a “Girls Discover STEM” program, providing opportunities for young girls to meet successful women with careers in STEM fields to boost their confidence and foster their interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.  The program combines field trips, hands-on experiences, and the opportunity to speak with women and men who are working in STEM careers to learn more about how their love for science, technology, engineering, and math led them to their careers and the work that they do on a daily basis.  This program launched in the spring of 2019, starting with a field trip to the Texas State Aquarium.
