The Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting applications for W.I.S.E. (Women in Science and Engineering), a year-long program that introduces middle school aged girls to STEM subjects in fun, hands-on ways. The program will meet from 4:30-6:30 pm in person on the third Wednesday of the month beginning October 18 and virtually 5:15-6 pm on the first Wednesday of the month through August 2024. The cost is $60 and financial assistance is available. Apply for a spot by September 30.

Participants will build, create, and compete as they work together and independently to formulate ideas, record results, analyze outcomes, and present findings. Applications must include a letter of recommendation from a teacher. Applicants will be notified October 6 if they have been accepted into the program.
