• My organization will make our assigned space work for our activity or demonstration and will adjust our activity or plans as needed.

• I understand that my organization will be responsible for paying for any cleaning penalties or damage to our space/room/area including desks, floors, sidewalks, concrete, bricks, walls, ceilings, etc. Our organization will be notified within one week after STEM Girl Day about any charges and will be invoiced within one month of STEM Girl Day.
• I understand that in case of inclement weather, my activity may be moved, adjusted, or cancelled depending on the severity of the weather and/or safety concerns. If STEM Girl Day must delay its start, it will still finish at the scheduled end time.
• STEM Girl Day cannot be rescheduled in case of university closure or other emergency and will be cancelled. It cannot be rescheduled for another date.
