Breaking Stereotypes in STEM education: Yes, I can.

The purpose of this event is to give high school students, particularly girls, the opportunity to visit our IE Tower campus, participate in two workshops (Virtual Reality and Robotics and AI) and learn about our programs. Our objective is to break the stereotypes surrounding STEM majors as not suitable for women and inspire girls by listening to the experience of prominent female STEM leaders.  We want to reassure girls that if they are interested in studying/working in STEM, they can.
