ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's an event that was a true collaboration on promoting science, technology, engineering, and math, also known as STEM.

Girls Incorporated, the Albany City School District, and Time Warner Cable, parent company of YNN teamed up to host the Girls Summit at the College of St. Rose in Albany. It's a full-day forum for girls, focusing on STEM.

Some of the hands-on activities included bridge building and robot programming. With the importance of math and science today, both students and teachers had something to gain.

Girls Inc. President/CEO Gail Wilson said, "They're right here in the classroom with professionals and leaders in their field, and the teachers are also participating in a workshop of their own, so they can enhance their skills and they can take them back to the classroom, so it's a great partnership and a great collaboration."

Our own JoDee Kenney even joined in. She kicked off the Girls Summit as the keynote speaker.
