Seeding Your Future
The Seeding Your Future Initiative is a two-fold approach to encouraging the next generation of STEM professionals. The Seeding Your Future Conference (SYFC) is one-day, hands-on event that primarily aims to inspire middle school-aged students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics when they become older. With a vast array of workshops and activities, the participants will be exposed to many scientific fields at Shepherd University. The Seeding Your Future Workshop Series (SYFWS) is a once monthly, 1.5 hour workshop for middle school and high school students of all genders that will feature more in depth exploration into different STEM areas.
