Women in Science events that invite only middle and high school girls to campus. I took my two daughters to this event (I was only one of about three men at the event). If our school district did not have budget issues, they would have had a field trip which would have been subsidized, in part, by the school district (bus and bus driver mostly).

While I appreciated the opportunity for my girls to experience this event, I have to wonder if a similar event should not be also run for boys. At my daughter's school, the girls in general do better academically than the boys (of the eight 4.0's last semester in my daughters class - seven were girls).
