An organization dedicated to increasing exposure to the sciences within underrepresented groups by hosting science workshops.

Girls and Women In Science (GWIS) is an organization that started in attempts to increase opportunities for female-identifying people in areas of STEM. This has ranged from inviting speakers to running science experiments in schools. Historically, GWIS would host free science experiments and seminars for six grade girls at our resident Science Center. The event would be held overnight and the students could enjoy a hands-on science workshop weekend and a sleepover. Nowadays, the activities of GWIS have expanded to include all genders because our members realize that there are other underrepresented communities in STEM. Factors such as gender identity, income inequality, racism, and disabilities all hinder opportunities for exposure to science and learning. We are always looking for volunteers and new members.
