GALS – Girls on outdoor Adventure for Leadership and Science – application period! The application will officially open on December 15th and will continue until March 15. We have attached a flyer with more details and with the hope that you can share information about this program to potential applicants.
GALS is a free summer science program for high school students from North Carolina who identify as female or gender nonconforming, students of color, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and other groups underrepresented in fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). The successful applicants spend two weeks in the Pisgah National Forest learning science hands-on with Duke University scientists. We are looking for applicants who have had little to no experience in learning science outside the classroom or in exploring the outdoors. We do not take academic performance into account when selecting girls and are looking for those who would succeed in this hands-on, experiential learning environment. It’s our hope that by getting these girls involved in the beauty of the outdoors and natural sciences, they may be inspired to become the environmental scientists of tomorrow. Apply at:
