Who: The Center for STEM Education for Girls is hosting its annual STEM Think Tank and Conference. We are expecting 200-300 participants from the following groups:

- K-12 administrators
- University STEM Outreach program coordinators
- University researchers in gender research
- Leaders of successful university STEM programs
- Non-profits and Informal educators
- Members of industry
What: The organizing team – the STEM Consortium – has chosen “Girl Meets STEM: Developing the Next Generation of Professionals” as the conference theme for 2013. Conference strands have been selected as follows:
- Best Practices in Curriculum & Teaching for Girls
- Getting Started in STEM – What do we mean? How is it different? How do you do it?
- STEM Leadership
- Changing the Conversation – What message do we send to girls about STEM?
- Community Outreach - How can schools use local museums, universities, science centers, and businesses to give girls hands-on experiences and access to STEM careers?
For much more information please see the Center for STEM Education's website and our conference website.
When: July 17-19, 2013
Where: The Harpeth Hall School, Nashville, TN
Why: The Think Tank and Conference will produce new connections and conversations among K12 teachers, university faculty and administration, informal education, and members of industry. Each group has lessons learned about creating successful programs for females. It's time that we communicate across these groups effectively – both to teach and to learn.
