Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) Presentation

IMSA is requesting a guest-led workshop from Argonne National Laboratory as part of Girls IN2 STEM, a five-week mentorship and enrichment program designed for middle school students who identify as female or non-binary. Hosted by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA), this program connects youth with high school mentors and features both a virtual curriculum and weekly in-person workshops focused on inspiring interest in STEM fields. This fall, we are excited to expand our programming through a partnership with Argonne for our Biology and Chemistry Week. We would like an Argonne representative to lead a session that includes a short lecture or science topic presentation, centered on a subject of your choice within biology or chemistry, followed by an engaging, hands-on activity that promotes scientific inquiry and real-world application. The goal is to provide our students with an opportunity to learn directly from professionals and deepen their understanding of STEM in action.
