Science. Whether you come to 1, 2 or 10 events this year--joining
the chapter supports our work towards reaching equity in the school and
workplace for girls and women in science. Joining does not commit
you to any work! Most events are free for members so it is worth
joining now!

discussion event with Ben Barres and Nancy Hopkins. Watch for emails

Volunteer once a week to lead a group
of girls from K to 7th grade in exploring the magic of science!
In our continued collaboration with the Science
Club for Girls (SCFG)...we are looking for female scientists to join with
groups of middle school girls to explore fun, hands-on science in free,
after school Clubs.
SCFG focuses on serving a diverse group of
girls from backgrounds most under-represented in the fields of science
and technology. We provide training, supplies, support, and a flexible,
hands-on science curriculum so you can dedicate all of your time to mentoring
the girls. Clubs run Tuesday through Friday once a week for 10 weeks. We
work with five different public schools in Cambridge and ask volunteers
to commit 2 hrs/wk, including prep and planning time. You choose the day
or location that works best for you!
