Girls in STEM Careers!

On Wednesday, November 12th the Sixth Grade girls from St. Louis School participated in the Cool Careers for Girls Symposium at the University of Maryland in College Park. Students met women professionals in cyber security, learned about possible career paths and participated in hands-on activities covering cryptography, computer forensics, programming, systems engineering and computer security. St. Louis School is committed to providing these types of opportunities for students; to spark interests, discover talents, and show options for each child’s future.

The event was made possible through a partnership between the Educational Technology Policy, Research and Outreach (ETPRO), the National CyberWatch Center K – 12 Division and the University of Maryland Cybersecurity Center.
