Expanding Your Horizons Workshop 2012

Over this past weekend, we provided a workshop as part of the Expanding Your Horizons Program here in San Antonio, TX. The Expanding Your Horizons program reaches out to girls in the 6th-8th grade and encourages them to pursue careers in STEM disciplines. Here a few pictures from our workshop. Enjoy!

Here we used balloons to demonstrate van der Waal's interactions.
