Thirty-seven young ladies from Palmdale's Knight High School Digital Design & Engineering Academy attended a DeVry-sponsored field trip to "HerWorld" at the LA Convention Center on 28 March. After a continental breakfast, the students heard from Shaun Robinson of "Access Hollywood" and Monica Garcia, President of the LA Unified School Board; they then participated in breakout sessions with Lauren Huss (nurse), Tammy Tubling (SoCal Edison Director of Philanthropy and Community Involvement), Joen Garnica (Garnica Interiors), and closed with remarks from actress Tamera Mowery. All of the speakers stressed to the students that they could accomplish anything they set their minds to.
DeVry's annual "HerWorld" workshops are designed to introduce junior and high school girls to STEM career opportunities through live speakers, games and other hands-on projects, and to prepare them for college admissions. http://www.high-school.devry.edu/students/get-ready/her-world-workshop.jsp For a related blog entry from a speaker, visit http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alicerp/archive/2012/03/14/devry-herworld-barbie-s-been-introduced-to-careers-in-stem-science-technology-engineering-amp-math-next-stop-high-school-juniors-and-seniors-in-las-vegas-los-angeles-and-colton.aspx.
