Fontbonne partners with Brown to promote STEM for girls
It’s a long way from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to Providence, Rhode Island, but academic institutions in those two communities are teaming up to encourage girls to study science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Fontbonne Hall Academy, a Catholic high school for girls, will be offering the Brown University Pre-College Scholars Program in Engineering starting this fall.
Under the program, 22 students in grades 10-12 will participate in a year-long online course taught by the faculty of Brown University’s School of Engineering.
