Our Current Program: One-on-One Sessions
|
We have closed our form due to high enrollments. However, we hope to provide everyone with an opportunity to participate. You can send us an email (steamgirlsvt@gmail.com) before Monday, October 21st and we will try our best to create some space for you. We will be returning in the spring, however at a small cost (scholarships will be available), submit your email below to receive a notification from us when we publish the details. Thank you! We are extremely appreciative of the Fund for Innovation Grant, Professor Noah Graham, Gail Borden, and Lisa LaRose for supporting STEAM Girls! Without them, we would not be able to offer FREE one-on-one sessions in the topics listed to the right. Each girl will receive 5 sessions, each one hour long. The sessions can be scheduled multiple times a week or up to once every month! And of course, we encourage everyone to sign up for more one-on-one sessions after they have completed 5 sessions. Ages: 5 to 18 year olds, the curriculum will be adapted according to your daughter's age Price: Free! Number of Sessions: 5 one hour sessions Subjects: listed on the left Date and Time: Dependent on your daughter's and the Middlebury College student's schedule Location: Axinn, Bicentennial Hall, or 75 South Shannon St (all of which are academic buildings on Middlebury College's campus). If you live far from Middlebury, we may be able to meet at a halfway point for our sessions. |
