MILTON — While the classroom is an ideal space for students to first get introduced to the theoretical concepts of science and technology, there is often a need for a place that allows kids to further explore and apply what they read about in school.
“What we know about girls is that they are equally interested in science through early middle school but for some reason their interest drops off as they get older,” said Alice Justice, a retired school counselor and former biology teacher who has been involved with STEM camps for more than three decades. “What we really want to do is expose girls to all the different types of science, technology, engineering and math opportunities that there are.”
