Girls in STEM: Presented by Drexel LeBow and Anthropologie

Drexel LeBow’s Center for Applied AI and Business Analytics, in partnership with Anthropologie, invites students who are in/completing grades 6–8 for a free, multi-day experience — August 6, 7 and 8 — that is designed to teach participants about data analysis, interpretation and storytelling through instruction, experiential learning and team collaboration.

Reflecting the Center’s commitment to educate and empower girls to pursue careers in STEM fields, the three-day engagement will be co-instructed by Drexel LeBow faculty/students and Anthropologie analytics leaders. The first two days of the experience will take place at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business (3220 Market St., Philadelphia) and the third day will take place at Anthropologie’s corporate headquarters (5000 S. Broad St., Philadelphia). Participants should arrive to and depart from the LeBow College of Business all three days, as Drexel will provide bus transportation for all participants to/from Anthropologie on the third day.

Up to 25 spots are available for registration. From instruction and experiential activities to presentations of participants’ work, each day of the experience builds toward the next, so parents and guardians should ensure that participants attend all three days. Lunch is provided at no cost.

Please register on this page. Upon completion of registration, you’ll receive an email from Dornella Harvey, program manager at Drexel University, to confirm your child’s spot and communicate further details.
