Women in Science & Engineering

Empower.

Our goal? Empower young women in their exploration of STEM.

Our plan? Create a relaxed, comfortable environment in which girls can learn about STEM - hands on. If we catch girls at a young age, we can narrow the gender gap in STEM and put more girls in places where they can change the world.

How will we do it? Open an annual event in California’s Bay Area where girls can explore STEM together.
