SUMMARY:STEM for Social Good Bootcamp: Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Girl Up’s STEM for Social Good Tour is coming to you\, virtually! This FREE\, virtual\, two-hour event is for young leaders 13-22.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nToday\, the effects of climate change are felt all over the world. According to the United Nations (UN)\, girls and women with less resources commonly face higher risks and greater burdens from the impacts of climate change.

Join Girl Up at this STEM Bootcamp: Climate Change to deepen your understanding of climate change and its disproportionate impact on girls and women\, learn about UN efforts to combat climate change\, gain tools on discussing climate change\, strengthen your advocacy skills through a climate change advocacy activity\, and begin brainstorming a STEM-centered solution to a climate change issue in your community. You can expect to gain insight into climate change engineering career routes\, hear from a panel of women in STEM\, and learn how to apply for a $500 STEM for Social Good grant. \nThis Girl Up STEM for Social Good Bootcamp: Climate Change will run from 5:00 – 7:30 PM EST (New York City Time Zone\, USA) in an interactive\, virtual format. The event content is mostly geared toward leaders in grades 6-12\, ages 13-22. \nRSVP here

SUMMARY:WISC STEMinars: Genetic Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Living things are made up of many\, many cells\, and these cells have instructions inside them called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). These instructions include things called “genes” which control the proteins our cells create\, and ultimately\, control how our cells look and behave! Genetic engineering is a super important development because we can build and alter genes to make cells look and behave in certain ways. Why is this a big deal\, and how does this help scientists better understand life? Learn with us and grad student Tyler Perdue at 11 am on April 10th! \nJoin us on April 10th at 11 am to hear a graduate student discuss their research and answer questions about being a scientist!
