Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) is a one day symposium for middle school girls to engage in exciting and diverse experiences that science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers have to offer.  Volunteers from the Chicago STEM community organize short, hands-on workshops to directly engage with the girls at a critical time in their development.  EYH is a nationally recognized program and we are proud to bring it to the Windy City for a eighth year!

Learn more about our programming and our relationship with the community in this video.
