"This conference has influenced my knowledge by teaching me about new things and expanding my knowledge on the things I already know"

"This conference has given me new topics in science that I didn’t give much thought to before."

From Parents/Teachers:

"My kid loves it!"

"I was excited to see my son as excited as I am about science. Now I can encourage him to further explore."

"I think this is a great opportunity for our kids to see what's out there as far as college and seeing the different things that are being studied."

"I love seeing the excitement and interest in both the attendees and the workshop facilitators. This conference makes me really excited and helps me recognize the importance of bringing more students to the conference. Math and science helps to create solution-focused thinkers, critical thinkers, and helps students realize how math and science can help society."

"I’m more excited about math and science now and I feel that it has fostered more interest for my daughter too. It has opened new doors."

"It’s a wonderful experience for these girls to see what opportunity is out there – more than even I knew about."

"[My daughter] has been to science programs before, but nothing that was so well run. The program did exactly what it was intended to do..... spur interest. Our child has always been curious...I am soooo happy to see the sparkle in her eyes, her energy, and excitement for science."

"I wish I had this in middle school!"

"I am a teacher, and these classes are great for these girls. They go in quiet and anxious, and come out excited about what they have seen. I never knew how much was out there for the kids to learn just how much math and science influence everything we do in our lives. It has helped me to promote the importance of math and science in my daughter's career choices."

""Math/science" was not a strong interest for me as a young student so when talking with my daughter about her future I realized I tended to think along the lines of my interests - not hers - which is science. This conference has really helped me to talk with her more easily - your parent folder packet is an excellent resource!"
