Dr. Gamble-George will be giving a talk at a virtual youth scholars program about her journey to become a neuroscientist. The talk, which will be held on Sunday, January 15th from 6:10 pm to 7:00 pm EST, is hosted by Project Scientist through a partnership with SciGirls as part of its new project entitled Black SciGirls.
Project Scientist is an organization that prepares girls for a STEM confident future by creating introductions to professional women in the field, expeditions to top STEM employers and universities, and hands-on activities delivered by credentialed and Project Scientist certified teachers. *Project Scientist program’s methods are beneficial to all participants. While their program focus on supporting girls in STEM, they welcome participants from all genders including female identifying and nonbinary youth participants.
The Project Scientist Scholars Virtual Program is designed for girls* ages 13 to 18 to provide a safe space to grow STEM career skills and awareness of STEM career pathways. It provides an opportunity to strengthen relationships among diverse and underrepresented Scholars (youth participants), Rising Stars (interns), and STEM professionals. These relationships support the development and growth of confidence in their STEM abilities, foster further development of positive STEM identities, and support their STEM interest and confidence.
SciGirls is an Emmy Award-winning PBS series and national informal STEM education initiative designed for girls, ages 8-13.
