Project WISE is a one-week residential camp for rising 8th grade girls. Last summer, Project WISE girls performed bypass surgery on a bovine heart in biology, made cosmetics in chemical engineering and designed Web pages in computer science. This summer promises to be just as exciting.

 

The WISE Experience is a one week camp offered for incoming freshmen females who plan on majoring in General Engineering, Math, or Science. The camp is held in July and allows the campers to experience Science and Engineering and Math classes at Clemson University before starting their freshman year at Clemson the following month.

 

The Girls Scouts of the Old 96 council in a colaboration with the Clemson's Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films offers "Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day," an outreach program.

 

WISE Choice brings females from all across the state to Clemson for a weekend of career exploration in engineering and science.

 

The Women in Science and Engineering Residence (WISER) is a Living and Learning community of continuing students majoring in engineering and science.

 

It's a Girl Thing is a program targeting middle school girls in Anderson School District Five. The middle schools that are involved are Lakeside Middle School, Southwood Middle School, and McCants Middle School. The goal of the club is to introduce the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in a safe and encouraging learning environment and to expose girls to nontraditional, educational and professional career fields, while also increasing self-confidence. In addition to career awareness, It's a Girl Thing provides training in career-supporting skills, such as team work, oral presentations, social skills, and an exposure to cultural and current events. Meetings are held at the middle schools during the school day. It's a Girl Thing is funded by the Engineering Foundation and the AAUW Educational Foundation.

 

The RISE(Residential Community in Science and Engineering) Program is a learning community for first year students majoring in engineering and science.
