STEM-ING’s Open Call for Workshop Proposals

For the past 12 years, NAWCAD and The Patuxent Partnership have collaborated to host the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – Inspiring the Next Generation (STEM-ING) event. The one-day event, scheduled for Saturday, May 31, 2025, is designed for middle school girls in the tri-county region to gain more confidence in STEM activities and learn about STEM fields and associated careers.
The STEM-ING Workshop Committee leads are looking for workshop proposals for the event. Those interested in submitting a workshop proposal should submit proposals to [email protected] by Friday, January 31. Additionally, submitting a workshop proposal does not require that you lead the workshop; however, you are certainly more than welcome to lead the workshop at the 2025 STEM-ING event.
During the event, the students will attend three STEM-related workshops. Every year, STEM-ING hosts new workshops so that returning students can participate in new and different workshops from the previous year.
If you have any additional questions on the STEM-ING event, email [email protected].
