About Us - Check with us about future information for this event
The EHY Salt Lake City conference was created to help girls like you learn more about careers in STEM. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Women are underrepresented in many fields of STEM including computer science, engineering and the physical sciences. In fact, women make up less than 20% of our nations engineers and EYH conferences were created to try to change this equation.
EYH conferences are designed to help you learn more about exciting careers you may previously have not heard of and introduce you to professional women scientists and engineers who work in these careers.
