Women in STEM Education
Michael Kilgore
Caleigh and Ally had the opportunity to be panel members at the 2nd annual W.I.S.E UP (Women in STEM Education) Event. The event was held at Penn State Beaver on May 10th, 2019 for local 7th grade girls. The primary focus is to provide the girls with hands-on workshops in biology, chemistry, engineering, and computer science, to expose them to different STEM related fields they may not know about. Caleigh and Ally, along with three other female panelists from different STEM careers, were able to discuss their personal paths in STEM fields, the good and bad of being a minority group in their careers, and offer words of encouragement to young girls who may consider entering a STEM career.
