Free STEM Summer Camp for High School Girls

Florida Gulf Coast University is offering a free STEM Summer Camp for High School Girls. Participating 9-12th grade girls will learn about water quality issues facing Southwest Florida, and issues around climate change. Girls will be mentored in the latest climate change research and how it is related to south Florida. The camp includes boat trips and hands on lessons in field methodologies. They will collect all of their own samples and engage in authentic scientific research, will be mentored in laboratory practices and they will use state-of-the-art laboratory instruments in their analyses. We chat with FGCU associate professor of Marine Science and Geology, Dr. Joanne Muller, to learn more.
