About the Event Organized by Harker’s Women in STEM Club (WiSTEM), this huge annual community event showcases the discoveries of Harker’s young scientists and alumni, honors the work of career scientists and entrepreneurs, and celebrates Silicon Valley’s innovative spirit. “We capitalize on Harker’s proximity to world class technology development to boost the symposium beyond a showcase for student projects into the realm of opening visitors’ minds to new ideas as they emerge,” noted Anita Chetty, science department chair and WiSTEM advisor. The event includes the following: • Dozens of talks by SIEMENS/INTEL/SYNOPSYS competitors, semifinalists and finalists • Pre-registered workshop on machine learning • More than 40 poster sessions by middle and upper school students • Panel on technical writing, research internships and research competitions • Interactive displays by corporate exhibitors • STEM activities for preschool and lower school students • Pre-registered Maker Workshop for lower school students: build a Lego robot and enter it in a balloon race! • Pre-registered Maker Workshop for middle school students: make and take your pan pipe and CD spectroscope! • Two robots, a chemistry magic show and so much more!
