Outreach Education

The objective of WiSE outreach is to create educational opportunities for young women and expose them to diverse career paths in STEM. We organize hands-on activities in a range of STEM fields and promote the networking of young women in the community with CSHL scientists. By sharing our personal experiences in STEM, we strive to inspire young women to pursue their interests in the field.

We are deeply involved in our local community. Our Outreach Committee, lead by co-chairs Sessen Daniel Iohannes and Marygrace Trousdell provide fun educational opportunities to girls from around New York including:

  • Brain Day with Girl Scouts: We celebrate International Brain Day by hosting Girl Scouts from around New York for a day of hands-on neuroscience experiments.
  • Coding Camp: At our coding camp, girls learn the basics of computer programming (and have fun doing it!)
  • Fascination of Plants Day: We try to get young minds fascinated by plants and the importance of plant science.
  • Fun with DNA Summer Camp: Together with the Dolan DNA Learning Center, we hold an annual science camp for middle-school girls.
  • Career Fairs: We attend Career Fairs at local high schools to discuss career paths in STEM and present educational opportunities at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
