Girls entering ninth and 10th grades spent four days on campus this week as part of Pennsylvania College of Technology's SMART (Science and Math Applications in Real-World Technologies) Girls program, an initiative devised by a group of faculty women to counter an alarming academic and societal pattern that shows women are less likely to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. Activities included field trips to Susquehanna Health System and to The Pennsylvania State University, where girls visited the kinesiology lab and the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute, as well as hands-on workshops on Penn College's main campus and at its Earth Science Center.
