The Girls in STEM Olympics (#GiSO2018) is an annual competition/conference with the goal of giving girls the opportunity to learn, grow, and compete through STEM challenges. It is a day-long event with team challenges for a more fun experience and solo challenges for girls who want to put their skills to the test!
