The event will feature a keynote by Sally Ride, Discovery Workshops led by women professionals from veterinarians to rocket scientists, and a Street Fair with booths, exhibits, food, music and a drawing for prizes. There is also an adult track of workshops for parents and teachers on topics such as hands-on science and gender equity.
