Femme in Stem After School Program

Students will take their first steps into the world of biology through hands-on exploration, experimentation, and discovery! Femme in STEM is designed for animal lovers, aspiring scientists, and anyone curious about the world around them. Students will learn the scientific method, conduct their own research, explore local ecosystems, and create a creative display poster to showcase what they’ve discovered.

Each week of Femme in STEM features a new theme, giving students the opportunity to explore a different area of biology and marine science while building confidence in their scientific skills.

Week 1 — October: Marsh Madness
Dive into the fascinating world of our local salt marsh! Students will investigate marsh ecosystems, discover important species, learn about keystone species, and conduct hands-on observations and experiments.

Week 2 — November: Fish 101
Explore the incredible diversity of fish! Students will learn about fish anatomy, adaptations, behavior, and ecology while getting hands-on experience with the science behind the animals that call our waterways home.

Week 3 — December: Important Habitats
Why do habitats matter? Students will explore the unique environments that support life, investigate the threats facing important habitats, and discover how scientists work to protect them.
