Sub-series comprises records relating to the development and delivery of the Girls in Science program, designed to encourage girls to consider science and technology careers. Girls in Science began in 1984 as a series of week-long summer workshops offered by SCWIST throughout British Columbia for girls aged 9 to 12, featuring a range of hands-on activities. In 1988 the direct management of the workshops passed from SCWIST to the local communities, who organize them on the basis of the SCWIST manual, Imagine the Possibilities. Records consist of correspondence, memoranda and reports; grant applications and supporting documentation; workshop presentations and overheads; teaching activities material; evaluations; handbooks and manuals (including annotated drafts and the first and second editions of Imagine the Possibilities); photographs; publicity brochures; and press clippings.
