hands-on opportunities to explore science and learn from leading women working in scientific fields. It’s an opportunity
to motivate girls throughout Colorado to explore STEM careers and it all kicks off with a free, in-person, event at the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science with CBS Colorado Meteorologist Lauren Whitney.”
