University of Colorado Denver presents a FREE series of  8 STEM lectures open to all ages. Engaging and unique topics include "Closing in on Dark Matter" and "Computer Vision". FREE parking on the downtown Auraria Campus is included.

Pre-registration is required. http://gswebapps.ucdenver.edu/ministem. A Certificate of Participation will be awarded to those who attend at least 6 of the sessions.

Indrani Pal, PhD, and civil engineer will be one of the presenters and stresses the importance of women choosing STEM careers. "Attracting and retaining more women in the STEM workforce will maximize innovation, creativity, and competitiveness. Scientists and engineers are working to solve some of the most difficult challenges of our time, and engineers design many of the things we use daily. When women are not involved in science and engineering, experiences the needs, and desires that are unique to women may be overlooked."
