The Mid-Michigan chapter of Graduate Women in Science invites you and your students to attend our Girls Math and Science Day!
This event is an opportunity for middle school students to work with enthusiastic and knowledgeable scientists at MSU to experience a variety of science fields through activities and demonstrations. Some examples of our past activities include learning to code, extracting DNA from fruit, and using math to study butterflies. We will have:
What's GMSD?
Dr. Grace Smith-Vidaurre, PhD Keynote speaker
Dr. Grace Smith-Vidaurre (she/her) is a scientist interested in how animals use vocalizations to flexibly communicate information, similar to human code-switching. She draws on data science approaches to analyze parrot and songbird vocalizations, and also develops new tools, such as automated systems to track bird behavior.
20-min STEM demonstrations
Each student will choose two from: Biology, Math, Chemistry and Physics
STEM fair-like session
With more than 20 tables to be explored
