Meet the Science Cheerleaders on April 7th and 8th in Washington, D.C. at the USA Science & Engineering Festival!
The Science Cheerleaders are current and former NFL, NBA, and College cheerleaders pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. They playfully challenge stereotypes, inspire young women to consider careers in STEM, and engage people from all walks of life in real scientific research through SciStarter.
This year’s featured Science Cheerleaders include cheerleaders from the Washington Redskins, Washington Wizards, and the George Washington University cheer teams as well as all of the cheerleaders listed below!
Talk to them about their dual careers, get their autographs on their personalized trading cards (collect them all), and be among the first people EVER to test their brand new, top secret STEM kits! They have more prizes and surprises for you!
