High School Girls in Science
Be a part of groundbreaking research happening at the Burke!
Designed for students in grades 9–12, the Burke’s High School Girls in Science Program helps you gain confidence and hands-on experience through work with distinguished UW mentors.
Over seven meetings, we will take an in-depth look into a Burke collection through behind the scenes tours, studies of plant anatomy, morphological comparisons, and study of the relationships between plants and their environments, followed by a public celebration of our work.
Priority acceptance is granted to applicants seeking to develop self-confidence in their STEM skills, and students with limited access to STEM role models and/or science resources.
