The Rolla Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) chapter will host an event for local Girl Scouts at the Missouri S&T’s Ozark Research Field Station Saturday, Oct. 19. Volunteers are needed.

The event is named “A Journey Through STEM,” and will feature a day of experiments and demonstrations focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) areas.

In preparations, there will be workdays and a wrap-up meeting 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Room 266 McNutt Hall. If you cannot make the workdays, you can still help.

The volunteer positions and duties include:

• Set-up help: Set up tables, tents, activities
