The annual Women in Science & Engineering (WISE) Forum brings together high school and college students who identify as girls and who are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math (STEAM) with accomplished women-identifying professionals in STEAM fields, ranging from academia and healthcare to design engineering and space exploration.A Two-Part Event
The first half of the evening consists of a Networking & Mentoring Reception where attendees are invited to connect. This is an opportunity for high school students who identify as girls to talk one-on-one with and receive advice from women-identifying professionals and college students.
Following the reception is a Distinguished Leader Panel Discussion, open to all genders. We encourage everyone who allies with girls and women in STEAM to attend. The panel features four distinguished women in STEAM who share their perspectives on working in STEAM fields. Hear about the opportunities and challenges they have faced while pursuing careers dominated by men.
