Join the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Our female scientists will share their stories of how they became involved in STEM, what it means to them to be women in science, and the mentors who encouraged them along the way. Take part in a variety of programs celebrating science-minded women, including planetarium shows, animal presentations, 3D-scanning demonstrations, and fun activities in our science lab.
