Gallery: “STEM for Girls” event encourages local middle schoolers

February 16, 2020 by Riley Fisher

Female faculty members and teachers from ATEMS High School came together to teach local middle school girls about the possibilities in science, technology, engineering and math. Attending students had opportunities to interact in small groups with professors and participate in hands-on projects explaining the properties of different STEM fields.

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not.
