The Expanding Your Horizons conference has been held on the Missouri State University campus each fall since 1994. The conference is specifically geared towards middle school aged young women.The goals of the conference are to increase young womens interest in science, mathematics and technology through hands-on activities; to foster awareness of career opportunities; to provide students an opportunity to meet and form personal contacts with local women scientists, engineers and mathematicians; and to provide parents and teachers with the knowledge and resources to encourage young women to choose any career they desire.
This year our final activity included experimentation with diet sodas and Mentos. The finale included spelling out MSU and then watching the geysers go!
