A Program of the San Diego Science Alliance

    In 1998, concerned about the small number of women choosing technical careers, Pat Winter got together a group of professional women working in science and engineering and created BE WiSE (Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering.

   SWE - San Diego has been involved from the start. BE WiSE is also supported by AWIS - San Diego and the San Diego Science Educators Association

    BE WiSE invites girls in grades 7 and 8 to Science Overnights to explore their interest in science, hosts events for BE WiSE alumnae in high school to encourage their selection of more courses in science and math, and exposes these girls to adult women scientists and engineers who share their career experiences. Events are scheduled throughout the academic year and during the summer.

The 2008-2009 school year will be the 10th Anniversary for the BE WiSE Program so it's time to celebrate.
