On Oct. 24, more than 7,000 girls attended KMSP-TV Fox 9’s Girls & Science event at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Thomson Reuters was a proud sponsor of the event.
Leading science and technology companies from the Twin Cities metro area came together to demonstrate how science and technology affect everyday life.
At the Thomson Reuters booth, several hundred girls had the chance to create their own Web sites. At other booths, girls experimented with weather-prediction technologies with Fox 9 meteorologists, explored human biology with St. Jude Medical, and learned about the latest in energy technologies and science from Flint Hills Resources.
Twelve women from Thomson Reuters’ technology organizations volunteered at the event.
“Having a presence in the local community is really important,” said Elizabeth Psihos, president and chief technology officer, Westlaw Business. “As a woman technologist, I have a personal interest in seeing young girls become excited about and educated in the science and technology fields.”
