Association for Women in Science

 

What is Association for Women in Science (AWIS)? 

 

We are an organization that is dedicated to providing support, resources, and encouragement for women in STEM. In addition to providing resources like networking opportunities, career advice, and camaraderie among members, a significant portion of our events involve community outreach. Through our events, we hope to inspire young girls in our local community so that they are not intimidated by nor restricted in following their passions.

 

AWIS at the local Barnes and Noble Maker’s fair
creating snow and explaining the science behind it!
More fun with snow at Barnes and Noble! Little kids were able to
explore the science behind creating synthetic snow! 
AWIS at Geek is Glam, which is an all day workshop
event where young girl scouts are able to conduct scientific
experiments and expand their interest in STEM.
This year we made eggshell geodes!
