Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Discusses Girls & STEM With Area Universities





On June 15, Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois hosted an engaging "STEM Show & Tell" session with representatives from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and McKendree University, as well as several GSSI Board members.

The panel discussed the value of encouraging girls to explore their interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and ways to share support as they pursue educational and professional paths in these fields.

We are proud to offer numerous STEM programs throughout southern Illinois and are always looking to collaborate with community partners to expand these opportunities.
