Even in the year 2007, women earn only $.77 to the dollar compared to their male counterparts and are underrepresented in many science fields. As a part of one agencies efforts to close this gap (Expanding Your Horizons), I want to create a youth-led project, Expanding Your Horizons for Teens Girls. This project is created for girls and entirely run by young women in partnership with several local middle schools and it aims to serve junior high school girls (ages 11-14) by exposing them to careers in mathematic and scientific fields.
