Concord High School Freshman and Sophomore girls interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) should hurry over to the CRTC Office and sign up for this year’s Girls Technology Day event. There are only 6 available seats for the March 13 event at the New Hampshire Technical Institute, and slots will be filled on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Girls Technology Day events are co-sponsored by the NH Department of Education and the Community College System of NH. Since 2013, these events have served to encourage NH’s female students to become invested in the technical fields early in their high school careers. Those attending will hear from keynote speakers and participate in technology-focused, hands-on workshops led by local educators and industry leaders. A 2016 National Center for Women in Technology Report shows that, nationwide, women are underrepresented in technology fields with only about 25 percent of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs currently being held by women.
