PCToday Photo Gallery - SMART Girls 2005

[Photo Gallery Archives]

Forty-nine girls in ninth and 10th grades spent a few days on campus to explore opportunities in science and technology careers during Pennsylvania College of Technology's SMART Girls camp, held July 10-13, 2005. Science and Mathematics in Real World Technologies for Girls, the program's formal name, was initiated at Penn College to help emphasize the importance of a solid math and science base for girls in their early teens - an age when many girls begin to lose interest in those subjects. Continuing studies in math and science keeps more career options open, especially in fields that experience a dearth of female employees.
