Through the Sharing Adventures in Engineering and Science (SHADES) task force AAUW members work with a coalition of organizations to present Saturday workshops for middle school girls in Knoxville and surrounding counties, with a workshop for teachers held simultaneously.

Hands-on activities show girls the importance of choosing to study mathematics and science and that these subjects are interesting and fun. Their leaders for the day are women from professions that require proficiency in math and science.

AAUW members are needed in the planning stage, for registration, and to serve as chaperones or leaders on the day of the workshops.
