of 12 hours spent in the mini-courses such as environmental engineering.Sessions were divided into three groups, girls entering grades 5-6th, 7-8th and 9-11th. Theprograms goals are to provide girls with strong role models, spark interest in science, dispelmyths and misconceptions about science and careers in science, and to introduce under-represented girls to a collegiate experience.SHWYF allows students of all ethnic and gender backgrounds to explore different fields of studythrough hands-on opportunities. The goal of the program is to develop student interest and focuson an academic path. Academically talented students, male and female, participate in morningand afternoon classes for four days dedicating a total of 12 hours for each mini
