=**STEM for Girls Think Tank**=

We are happy to welcome 70 participants from 34 schools who are attending the fourth annual STEM for Girls Think Tank at The Harpeth Hall School in Nashville, TN on November 10-12, 2010. We are also pleased to welcome this year's speakers, Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Molly Rumsey, Interim Director of the Online School for Girls; and Dr. Linda Swarlis, Columbus School for Girls.

We would like to call your attention to AAUW's latest research report, Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, which was published this spring. Prior Think Tanks have covered some of the topics in this report. This year, our speakers and discussion groups will address spatial intelligence, creating a climate for STEM success, and how to develop not simply the skills young women need in STEM careers but how to create a //passion// for STEM. We highly recommend that you read the AAUW report before arriving at the Think Tank.

 * Remember that the CMA Awards will be in town on November 10, which means that traffic downtown will be challenging.**
