TWISTER

High school girls are invited to register for the 2012 Tennessee Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Research (TWISTER) Hands-on STEM Science Conference scheduled for February 11, 2012. During this day-long event participants attend interactive hands-on sessions with professional women representing over 20 fields. Girls will network, learn about college opportunities and internships, have lunch with the presenters with similar interests, and take home resources and unique experiences that may open doors to new possibilities.

Seniors may apply for the Women in Technology of Tennessee College Scholarship opportunity for a chance to win a $2500 or $1000 award.

Share your tree climbing experience with a parent. Participants get a bird’s eye view of camp by ascending into the canopy of a tree. This self-belay system allows participants a safe and fun way to reach the highest branches. Rope, harnesses and helmets are used.

There will be numerous sessions running throughout the day. Your scheduled 1 ½ hour time will be sent to you once registration has been completed.

While you are there… Invite a Parent to Ride will also be taking place. During this 1 ½ hour session, parents and scouts will enjoy horseback riding. Please enjoy the day and sign up for both programs! Registration for Invite a Parent to Ride Day is separate on Ecouncil.
