Bedford High School will be hosting the tenth annual Women of Science Scholarship Competition on Saturday, December 8, 2012. The competition involves about thirty teams of junior and senior high school women competing in three science related events and a general knowledge station event. All events involve knowledge based in the areas of biology, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, math, and physics. Teams compete as a group in each of the four events.~

The idea of creating a competition for female students only is guided by the interest to have more women enter science related fields. We are hoping the day will celebrate women in science and spawn interest in science related fields. In addition to the competition, we are inviting a variety of professionals in the science and technology fields to have lunch with the participants to discuss the many opportunities that there are for women.

If you are interested in receiving more information about the program, feel free to explore this site or contact Michael Griffin or Liana Heldman at Bedford High School.

We encourage anyone interested to support our efforts to stimulate and support the future women scientists, engineers, leaders, etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
Thanks and we hope you will be attending the tenth annual women of science competition.
