Eighth-Grade Students Attend  Futures Unlimited Conference at GBN

On December 12, Maple School eighth-grade science teacher Robin Dombeck and a group of eighth-grade girls attended Futures Unlimited at Glenbrook North High School. 

This is a one-day educational program that provides eighth-grade girls and gender expansive students with exciting opportunities to explore diverse careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 

The program includes sessions with role models comprised of women who have achieved success in a variety of non-traditional careers; hands-on workshops led by Oakton faculty, staff, and graduate students; and breakout sessions introducing STEM programming at area high schools.
