Latinas in STEM


Description

Our mission is to inspire and empower Latinas to pursue, thrive and advance in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) fields.

Our primary purpose is to spread awareness about STEM and inspire and encourage middle school and high-school Latinas, especially within underserved communities, to strongly consider pursuing a STEM career. We aim to not only educate students, but most importantly their parents so that they may be better positioned to support their daughters along this challenging journey. Our secondary purpose is to help Latinas in STEM thrive in their college and professional careers through mentorship, networking and recognition.

Our goals are to:
1. Inspire young women to consider STEM careers
2. Increase the number of Latina women pursuing STEM careers
3. Create a network that helps women in STEM thrive
