    Are you wondering what is next after high school? Are you trying to decide if you should consider a pursuit in a science and or technology career? TWISTER is the event that will help lead you in a direction that you may not have considered. At this one-day conference you will meet and interact with professional women immersed in careers in science, engineering, research, and technology. Each presenter is eager to share her excitement with you, answer your questions and give you a little taste of daily life in the workplace.

    TWISTER (Tennessee Women in Scence, Technology, Engineering and Research) is committed to informing and motivating girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and research. The event fosters awareness of career possibilities in math and science-related careers, provides young women with opportunities to meet with positive role models and engages young women with limited opportunities for success in positive experiences involving math and science. TWISTER serves as an intervention strategy designed to nurture girls' interest in mathematics and science courses and to encourage them to expand their career visions to include science and math based careers.
