Montana STEM group for girls hosts conference in Helena Nov. 7

The Montana Girls STEM Collaborative Project (MGSCP) will host a conference on Friday, Nov. 7 in Helena in partnership with Helena College.

The event is designed for organizations and individuals who are committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and to encourage collaboration among STEM groups.

The conference will provide an opportunity for participants to hear about successful programs in the state, including partnerships with STEM businesses; learn about activities of the Montana Girls STEM Collaborative; and form potential collaborations. The conference also includes Role Models Matter (RMM) training–an opportunity for STEM professionals to gain skills in serving as role models and mentors–and a tour featuring Helena College’s two-year STEM degree programs, such as aviation mechanics.

First Lady Lisa Bullock will kick off the morning activities, and Lieutenant Governor Angela McLean will introduce the afternoon activities.
