Pearl Sponsors RIT’s SMASH Program

SMASH is a special program for rising 8th grade girls, designed to build confidence in science and math. The curriculum focuses on improving the two attitudinal values, perceived usefulness of mathematics and mathematical self-efficacy, impacting math-related achievement. Girls about to enter the 8th grade can join us at RIT for five days of cool science fun with math.

 

SMASH will run July 15 – 19, 2019 on the Rochester Institute of Technology Campus.  The SMASH Experience for Girls is designed:
