The annual conference is a great success at encouraging young women's interest in science and math.
The goals of the EYH conference are:
- To emphasize the importance of taking mathematics and science courses in secondary school
- To increase young women's interest in mathematics and science
- To foster awareness of career opportunities for women in mathematics and science related fields
- To provide young women with the opportunity to meet and form personal contacts with women working in traditionally male-dominated occupations
- To alleviate the isolation of young women who are interested in math, science, engineering, and other careers that are not traditional for women
