Girls in STEM Club

La Brea Tar Pits invites curious young scholars to join us for our Girls in STEM Teen Program debut! As part of the founding cohort, a select group of 7th/8th graders will work behind-the-scenes with the Museum staff to learn what stories the Tar Pits tell and how these stories are important in their own lives. The program season will run from February 2025 to May 2025 with a meeting every month. Participants must be able to commit to attending all meetings.
