Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Gateway Project

The State of Washington has 10 to 15 Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Conferences each year. These events are designed to nurture girls' interest in science and math courses and to encourage them to consider science and math based career options such as engineering, computer science and physical science. The first EYH Conference was sponsored by the Math/Science Network at Mills College in 1976. Since inception, EYH has benefited thousands of girls and young women in more than 22 states across the nation. More information about the Expanding Your Horizons Network and Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics™ conferences can be found at their Web site.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), the Washington Expanding Your Horizons Gateway Project has been created. Coordinators of Washington’s EYH conferences benefit from the following services and resources:

  • Registration Database
    A conference registration database is now available for all conferences to use. Coordinators for each conference may use the database to view and manage student registration for their event. Conference coordinators who want to use the database should contact to arrange for account information.

  • Assessment and Evaluation
    EYH conferences use a variety of tools to evaluate their conferences. Most conferences have a student survey and a presenter survey. Some conferences also conduct volunteer surveys. The following is a sample of conference evaluation tools that EYH conferences in Washington have used.  These are available to use or modify by clicking on the links to the files.

  • Conference Materials
    This Web site contains links to materials and information to help conference coordinators plan and manage EYH conferences. Coordinators can also place their conference brochure on this site for easy download by interested parties.
