Two more students have been identified as Be WiSE awardees! It's amazing to have three students from one school become part of this amazing Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering also known as the “BE WiSE’ program.
We are so proud of all three of our students!

BE WiSE is a free program sponsored by the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park that engages girls grades 7-8 in science, technology, engineering, and math or learning experiences in collaboration with the region’s research, industry, and academic institutions. Applications are submitted from all over San Diego for the 120 openings each year. The program maintains contact with hundreds of students who have been a part of the program as they move through the secondary school system.
BE WiSE sparks interest in what is referred to as STEM through interactions with female professionals and leaders, increases the participants’ opportunities in and knowledge of STEM fields of study, and develops a community of girls engaged in science learning throughout middle and high school.
The goal of the BE WiSE program is to engage girls in free STEM learning experiences through real STEM-related work, situations, and hands-on learning.
Once accepted into the program, girls will interact with successful women currently working in STEM-related careers while attending workshops held virtually at STEM companies, local universities, and research facilities.
