EVENT

Creating Inclusive Institutions

This workshop will give Great Lakes Science Center team the opportunity to join COSI TEAM in discussion and engage in activities focusing on gender and cultural competency and how it relates to all of us as institutions of learning. Evaluate your own institution's effectiveness at engaging minority girls in STEM programming and gain tools to invigorate their engagement. The workshop will be led by COSI TEAM: Robin E. Dungan, Manager of Education Services and Amy Parker, Director of Teen Programming. COSI is part of Girls RISEnet, a national network of museums that are working to strengthen the professional capacity of informal science educators to engage and motivate minority girls in grades 6-12 to explore and pursue science and engineering careers. The project addresses the national need to cultivate diversity in preparing the next generation of female scientists and engineers
