MANHATTAN -- Three days of science, technology, engineering and math exploration is the agenda planned for sixth- and seventh-grade girls -- including some from Quinter -- today through Friday at Kansas State University.
The 10th annual GROW, or Girls Researching Our World, Workshop will offer participants a variety of laboratory activities including "Acid Raindrops Keep Falling in My Lake," "Bacteria: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Critters in a Prairie Stream," "Wayfinding with Satellites" and "Chemistry in the Kitchen."
The GROW program is sponsored by the K-State Women in Engineering and Science and Targeted Excellence programs. The program began in 1999 with a planning grant from the National Science Foundation and the first summer workshop was offered in 2000.
More information on the GROW Workshop is available at www.k-state.edu/grow.
