About EYH

Tri-Valley Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) is an annual conference specially designed for 6–9th grade girls to encourage them to consider education and career options in math and science. About 300 girls from the Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, Sunol, and San Ramon school districts attend, but girls from other school districts may also register.

Workshops

Girls attend two 90-minute workshops that provide hands-on science- or math-related activities and enable the girls to interact with professionals and science enthusiasts. Attendance per workshop is normally limited to 20 students to keep the instruction personal and interactive.

Career Fair/Science Expo

In addition to their workshop selections, girls also visit numerous career displays and are able to interact with professionals from industry, government, academia, and public service, discussing career and education choices in a friendly and relaxed environment. Career fair participants distribute brochures and freebies and may advertise their special events. Girls will also participate in science-based special activities.
