This year we'll explore how the vital connection between industry and STEM education can inspire girls. This presentation briefly highlights two programs (Maker Girl Mania and Tech Girls) and the transformative impact they have in fostering creativity, problem-solving skills, and innovation for females. We'll explore how industry collaboration can enhance STEM learning experiences, encouraging more girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Participants will gain insights into best practices when connecting with schools and other existing programs.
