Over 100 young ladies and approximately 50 parents attended the first STEM Conference for Girls, co-sponsored by AVUHSD, AVC, and Upper Hand to College at the Palmdale Conference Center on Saturday, 9 March 2013. Sessions included "Focus Your Future" with industry professionals, as well as college and high school academy students, and workshops on polymers, DNA, web design, and more. Parents learned how to prepare their students for careers in STEM fields, including a variety of opportunities available in secondary and post-secondary education.
