Expanding Your Horizons Conference (2025-03-15)

The Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Conference, taking place on March 15, 2025, at South Puget Sound Community College, aims to empower middle school students, particularly young women, trans, and nonbinary youth, to explore careers in STEAM fields. This inclusive event offers hands-on workshops and mentorship opportunities, designed to foster confidence and ignite curiosity among participants. The conference specifically invites BIPOC youth in 6th to 8th grades, ensuring a welcoming environment for all attendees. Professionals from various STEAM fields are also encouraged to participate as mentors, contributing their expertise and inspiration. By connecting students with role models, the EYH Conference emphasizes the importance of diverse representation in these fields.

No prior experience is required, making the event accessible to a broad audience of curious minds. The hands-on nature of the workshops allows participants to discover new interests while building valuable skills. This initiative plays a crucial role in promoting equity and inclusion in STEAM careers, paving the way for future generations.
