This project consists of three interventions. The primary intervention will be the development of a GRITS "Traveling Roadshow" and companion website with supporting materials about gender bias, careers in STEM and best practices in STEM education. The second objective is to include a new focus on how science is done which will highlight women and minority scientists from Tennessee, the work that they do, and why they choose the science career path. Finally, the project will provide educators and parents in east and west Tennessee with assistance, knowledge, and materials on how to encourage middle and high school girls to explore STEM careers by planning and hosting a regional Expanding Your Horizons Conference. INTELLECTUAL MERIT-- GRITS will advance knowledge and understanding on issues of STEM education and career opportunities for middle school and high school girls throughout Tennessee. GRITS will provide parents, teachers, and guidance counselors with new insights on how to encourage their daughters in STEM classes and careers. Teachers will be given information on how to incorporate best practices in STEM in their classroom, reaching both girls and boys. This project brings together a GRITS "community" that will explore creative concepts to disseminate information about STEM careers in Tennessee where many girls do not attend college or even graduate from high school.BROADER IMPACT-- GRITS promotes a greater understanding of STEM careers for girls and women as well as supports teaching, training and learning about opportunities in STEM education and careers. Girls in urban areas as well as in rural Tennessee and in Appalachia will be encouraged to participate in GRITS. This project will build a community of Girls Raised in Tennessee Science. The GRITS community will grow even further through regional EYH conferences. A major impact will be the enhancement of scientific and technological understanding among the participants, including teachers.

该项目包括三个干预措施。主要干预措施将开发“旅行路演”和伴侣网站，并提供有关性别偏见，STEM职业和STEM教育最佳实践的材料。第二个目标是将新的重点放在如何完成科学上，这将突出田纳西州的妇女和少数民族科学家，她们所做的工作以及为什么选择科学职业道路。最后，该项目将为田纳西州东部和西部的教育工作者和父母提供有关如何鼓励中学和高中女孩通过计划和举办区域扩展您的视野会议来探索STEM职业的帮助，知识和材料。知识分子的优点 - 沙格将提高田纳西州中学和高中女生的STEM教育和职业机会的知识和理解。沙粒将为父母，老师和指导顾问提供有关如何鼓励女儿在STEM课程和职业中的新见解。 将向老师提供有关如何将最佳实践纳入STEM中的信息，并触及男孩和男孩。该项目汇集了一个刻板的“社区”，该项目将探索创造性的概念，以传播有关田纳西州的STEM职业的信息，许多女孩都不上大学甚至从高中毕业。将鼓励城市地区以及田纳西州和阿巴拉契亚农村地区的女孩参加沙砾。该项目将建立一个在田纳西州科学中成长的女孩社区。 Grits社区将通过区域性EYH会议进一步发展。主要影响将是包括教师在内的参与者之间对科学和技术理解的增强。
