Expanding Your Horizons is a program at MTSU which allows young girls, who may be interested in pursuing a career in one of the STEM fields, to interact with women who have already established successful careers in science and engineering. The program also includes workshops and hands-on activities to reinforce the concepts learned there.

Girls expanding their horizons and dreaming bigger
The keynote speaker, Dr. Rhea Seldon, a retired hall of fame astronaut, spoke about her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and how she persevered in achieving it, despite having a hard time getting through college and medical school on her way to applying to NASA. She told the girls to have faith in themselves in order that they succeed in fulfilling their own dreams.
That she had a hard time going to college because she was girl.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
