Girls’ Summit

Girls’ Summit is a hands-on career exploration day that introduces students in grades 5th to 10th to non-traditional fields in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math (S.T.E.A.M.).

This event will be held at SUNY ESF’s Gateway Center (1 Forestry Drive) on Saturday, April 26th and will include a series of workshops, a keynote address, and a women in business panel focused on opportunities in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. 

The event registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and the program will close at 3:00pm. Each workshop, lasting approximately 45 minutes, engages students through interactive activities.

This year's Keynote Speaker is Diana Jaramillo, founder of Kin Studio and Director of Facilities for SUNY ESF.

The goal of the Girls' Summit is to empower, motivate, educate, and challenge perceptions of girls and women in S.T.E.A.M fields. However, this event is inclusive and open to all individuals, regardless of sex, gender, or gender identity.
