Chapter Director:

Netia McCray, Class of 2008; MIT '12.
The Tallahassee chapter of ScienceDays provides an after-school program for female middle school students focused on science and mathematics.  Their activities for the 07-08 year have included field trips and a science fair.  The chapter has also been profiled in news outlets such as The Tallahassee Democrat and WCTV.  Netia is an accomplished young scientist and has been named Outstanding Volunteer of the Year at Lincoln High School, Tallahassee Democrat Volunteer of the Year Youth Finalist, Best and Brightest 2008- Leadership (LHS), Sunshine State Scholar Finalist, Leon County Student School Board Representative, NAACP ACT-SO 2008 Chemistry Winner, and a MIT Wesley L. Harris Winner.  In leading the Tallahassee chapter of ScienceDays, Netia follows the vision that "the current and potential problems that the world will face within the next decade will directly affect this generation. ScienceDays hopes to change this by exposing young girls to the wonders and mysteries of science and mathematics, hopefully persuading some to pursue a career in mathematics and science or obtain a strong background in science and mathematics".
