SciGirls Training at the Science Museum of Western Virginia
SciGirls is an Emmy-award winning PBS KIDS television series and website dedicated to changing the way millions of girls think about STEM. Local educators are invited to participate in a hand-on, minds-on Professional Development Training for adults interested in working with "tweens" hosted by The Science Museum of Western Virginia.

Learn the latest research for exciting and engaging girls (and boys) in STEM
Experience hands-on STEM activities
Leave with curriculum that puts a creative twist on teaching STEM
Learn how to modify activities to engage youth in STEM using the SciGirls Seven
Discover additional online resources that enhance teaching and learning experiences for all youth
