The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) invites Young Women In Bio (YWIB) and area middle school girls to participate in an afternoon of science immersion. WRAIR shares YWIB’s passion for engaging the DC/Baltimore community in science, technology, engineering, and math, and supports numerous educational outreach programs. Through their GEMS (Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science) program, adolescents get to experience firsthand scientific method and valuable experimental techniques.
Come join WRAIR and YWIB for a taste of this exciting curriculum. Middle school girls will first tour the National Museum of Health and Medicine. Next, in the teaching lab, WRAIR scientists will help the girls perform a basic dissection, observe the protists that aid in termite digestion, and learn the math behind pipetting. Registration is limited to 25 girls so please be sure to sign-up early to reserve your place.
