Come and help WISEST deliver the 2023 SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) Conference on Saturday November 25, 2023! This fun day will show grades 10-12 high school girls and gender diverse students the many opportunities that exist for them in science, engineering, and technology. Please see some of our volunteer roles below:

LAB ACTIVITY LEADERS

What: Lab Activity Leaders plan, organize and present a hands-on lab activity for Conference participates (delegates)!
