Read about their stories:
“The reason I keep attending Tour Your Future programs is because I believe that Tour Your Future programs are priceless opportunities. When I go on a Tour Your Future, I have the ability to meet with, to interact with, to ask questions of, and to learn from women professionals in different fields of STEM.”
– 16-year-old Tour Your Future participant
“I had a lot of new experiences with the Science Center and STEM. I [had] a fun time seeing new tech and using new tech at the Science Center.” Another student added, “I learned how to be creative by making something new. It (sic) was fun.”
– 9th grade student from Perry High School
“Last year, I participated in the Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair, and I was interviewed for an internship at Magee-Womens Hospital. I was selected for the internship, and while I was there, I participated in a national research study. This study taught me a lot about the research process and about the people involved. I would not have had this opportunity if it wasn’t for the Carnegie Science Center.”
– high school PRSEF student
