Dear Colleague,
The eleventh annual SET in the City - A Day of Career Exploration in Science, Engineering & Technology for High School Girls will take place on Saturday, April 6th, 2019. Students begin the day at Boston University, and then travel in separate groups to area venues that include Biogen, Emmanuel, Harvard, MIT and Simmons for lunch and laboratory activities. Everyone will end the day with a keynote address and college student panel at Merck in Boston. The program will begin at 9:30 am and conclude at 5:00 pm.
Participating students will take part in hands-on activities, hear from and interact with students and professionals in SET fields, learn about cutting edge research, and find out how to prepare for careers in Science, Engineering, and Technology. The cost of attending is $30.00. Interested students may pre-register for the event online at www.bostongirlsstem.org/setinthecity/apply.html. Students who are enrolled in SNAP, TAFDC or MA Health are eligible to attend for a reduced fee of $10.00.
This event is sponsored by the Boston Area Girls STEM Collaborative, which includes representatives from the following organizations and institutions: Boston University, Emmanuel College, Harvard University, M.I.T., Northeastern University, Simmons College, UMass Boston, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and WGBH, as well as industry partners such as Biogen, Merck and IBM.
Because we are limited as to the number of students we can accommodate, we are not able to host large groups from any one school and do reserve the right to limit registration to eight students per school. We would appreciate it if you would post our flyer and bring the program to the attention of any students who would benefit from this unique opportunity to meet women studying or working in Science, Engineering and Technology and learn about careers in these fields.
Thank you in advance for your help.
