Girls will be able to attend three breakout sessions, choosing from 48 different career fields ranging from Astronomy, Dentistry, Medicine, Rocket & Space Science, to Forensic Science and many more. Parents and teachers are also encouraged to attend with their girls and enjoy special workshops on how to help girls succeed in their educational and career pursuits.
