科学创造力：密苏里西南部的科学教育常规
地方性遗产
虽然着名的科学家居礼夫人是位女性，但女孩子很少被鼓励学习科学及数学。然而情况已渐渐改变。
密苏里西南部所举办的「开拓您的科学及数学视野」(Expanding
Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics)是一个数学／科学网络会议节目。这项会议是用来鼓励女孩子培养科学及数学方面的兴趣，并激励她们将来从事工程、信息科学及生物学方面的工作。出席这个会议的女孩子约为200至500人。其中包括各式由女性科学家、数学家及工程师所主持的研讨会。
研讨会的活动内容也包含了让学生边做实验边学习的课程，如：学习光线、视觉及颜色的化学作用。另一个研讨会则让学生将玩具拆解开来，以便他们了解玩具的运作原理。而学生则可经由此项活动，了解应用在玩具上的磁性、电力及气压原理，而且他们也可将自制玩具带回家。现场会透过折纸术来传授数学概念，因为学生在折叠纸张时，会应用到各式原型及几何图案。另外，其他的研讨会则教导学生如何制造机器人、如何拆组计算机及如何制作网页。
Although the famous scientist Madame Curie was a woman, girls have not always been encouraged to study science and math. But that is changing.
Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics is a program of the Math/Science Network conference held in southwest Missouri. This conference helps to encourage girls' interest in science and math and urges them to consider careers in engineering, computer science, and biology. About 200 to 500 girls attend this conference. There are a variety of workshops led by women scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
Workshops include activities such as learning about light, vision, and the chemistry of colors while doing experiments. Another workshop teaches how toys work by allowing students to take some toys apart. They learn about magnets, electricity, and air pressure as they are used in toys, and they get to make their own toys to take home. Origami (the art of paper-folding) is used to teach math concepts as students fold paper into models and geometric designs. In other workshops, students learn how to make robots, how to take apart and put together computers, and how to make a Web page.
