Back To Top 

Location: Burnet Middle School
Time: 11:00 a.m.- 12:30 p.m.
Audience: For girls & parents

Join young Austin women who’ve “made it” in the high-tech and engineering fields for a look at the relationship between self-confidence and math and science, and how experiences in middle school can make or break career opportunities for girls. Speakers will help de-mystify these fields and offer advice about what parents and educators can do to encourage girls in math and science.

Thinking of following your dreams? Whatever they may be, the road to success can be a wild ride. Find out what to bring with you, how to make a road map, even what to do if you get lost.

Tuesday, March 30: From Ordinary to Extraordinary: It's Just a Little Extra
Back To Top 

Location: Trinity Episcopal School
Time: 3:30 p.m.- 5:00 p.m.
Audience: For girls

Are you ordinary? Extraordinary? Does extraordinary mean to do better or to be the best? Open conversation about what makes a person successful and talk about examples of some extraordinary people and situations. Learn how a little extra effort in school, friends or health can make a big difference in how you live and enjoy life — even how that effort makes you fun to be around and helps attract positive experiences. Who has been extraordinary in your life recently? What can you do, right now, to be extraordinary in some part of your life? Join Shannon Huggins, LMSW-ACP, from Creekside Mental Health to explore this topic.
