Given the current landscape, what does support for empowering girls and women in STEM look like going forward? Join the National Girls Collaborative Project for this important panel discussion with members of their Board of Directors who bring expertise in STEM, education, policy, and research.
Women continue to be underrepresented in the STEM workforce. Gender gaps in education pathways persist, limiting access, preparation, and career opportunities. Now, new barriers and changes to the current landscape have left girl-serving programs wondering what the future of support for girls and women in STEM will be. During this Women’s History Month, NGCP invites you to join the conversation around future directions for this work we are all passionate about. Moderated by NGCP’s Board Chair, Dr. Gabriela Gonzalez, this panel is comprised of experts at the intersection of STEM, equity, and policy. There will be time for audience questions and discussion. We will explore how to move forward in this policy landscape, the critical issues currently impacting girls and women in STEM, and strategies for engaging girls and women in STEM in the future.
