Welcome To The Parent Section of the EXCITE! Website! What is EXCITE? EXCITE! is designed to introduce young high school women to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. EXCITE! is a year round program that offers girls in the 9th - 12th grades opportunities on and off campus. Girls entering 9th and 10th grades in the fall have the chance to participate in a five-day hands-on residential science and engineering camp held on the K-State campus in Manhattan, KS. The EXCITE! workshop allows students to work closely with K-State faculty and undergraduate students. Participants also tour companies that employ scientists and engineers and have the opportunity to see a “typical” day on the job. During the school year girls are invited to one day campus events. These events focus on preparing for college as a STEM student and are led by K-State students What is an EXCITE! Event Like?
