Why Should You Attend? |

The National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) brings together organizations throughout the United States that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The Collaboration Conference is an opportunity for you to connect, collaborate with others, and learn from innovative national experts. The goals of the Collaboration Conference are:
-
To increase collaboration between local girl-serving STEM practitioners and with national experts
-
To increase access to resources such as exemplary program practices, models, and resources
-
To provide training and opportunities to collaborate on a local, regional, and national level
The National Girls Collaborative Project is committed to providing accessible information on exemplary practices and access to resources that are FREE. Regardless of the needs of your organization-the collective knowledge of the NGCP Collaboration Community can provide the answer. You and/or your staff will leave the National Collaboration Conference with strategies you can implement with little or no funding upon your return. If you are looking for new ideas or have a problem to solve, don't miss this valuable professional development opportunity!
