Return of the STEMinistas!

Two students create a DNA bracelet during summer enrichment.

The future (of science) is female!

Week 1 of the district’s STEMinista camp found the middle school girls their knowledge of science and math through hands-on and fun labs and projects.

Led by William S. Hackett Middle ƹƵscience teacher Allison Griner and Stephen and Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle ƹƵteacher Beth Cino, the scholars participated in a range of activities including the construction of a unique-to-them DNA code bracelet on Thursday and a field trip to the Radix Center on Wednesday.

There are limited spots available for Session 2 next week. It runs Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at Albany High School and lunch and breakfast are included. Please email by 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11 to register a girl entering grades 7-8 at Hackett, Myers or North Albany Middle School.
