Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) is a one-day event that encourages girls in grades 6-10 to explore their interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and provides positive female role models in STEM careers. We are hosting the seventh-annual SLCC EYH conference on Saturday, March 9th, at the South City Campus. Each year between 300 and 400 girls participate in hands-on workshops, interacted with female role models and explored a college campus.
