Tech Women Professionals Will Talk to 8th and 9th Grade Girls About Careers in STEM

A dozen female professionals from the NH Tech industry are coming to Concord High School on Nov. 16, to talk to 8th and 9th grade girls about careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The event gives young women who are interested in or curious about STEM careers the chance to sit down in small discussion groups where they can meet and ask questions of a professional female role model. There also will be some hands-on projects.

The TechWomen Ambassador program is cosponsored by the State of NH and NH TechWomen/TechGirls, a community of female professionals enthusiastic about technology and about supporting girls who are exploring STEM as a career or area of study. The Ambassador program was designed to provide professional female role models to young girls, and to give professional women a way to connect, educate, and explore ideas around career development, technology initiatives, and innovation.
