STEM Essay Contest
Deadline for entries February 10th.
The McLean AAUW (American Association of University Women) is hosting an Essay Contest. The STEM Essay Contest challenges 7th and 8th students to discover and publicize women including women of color who made a difference in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields, but who received little or no recognition for their contributions while they were alive. Strong preference is given to essays about women who are not well known even today. Each student is asked to write an essay of no more than 500 words to describe one woman's contribution to STEM, discuss the impact, and clearly state why he or she picked that woman. We will award four prizes: First Place ($100), Second Place ($50), and Honorable Mention (2 Prizes, each $25). MOre information is available on the McLean AAUW website.
