Girls’ Science Adventures

Girls’ Science Adventures is a series of free Saturday workshops designed to get young children excited about science. Researchers from diverse backgrounds lead children through exciting activities to encourage their curiosity in the world around them. Previous workshops have included math puzzles, planetarium demonstrations at the Eugene Science Center, math puzzles, visits to the Cascade Raptor Center, and building take-home microscopes. Please vote on this year’s theme, and we will do our best to find researchers from that field to lead sessions!
Girls’ Science Adventures is run in collaboration with the Eugene Science Center.
