Role Models

"Young girls need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can’t be what you can’t see." — Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space

As a Role Model, you show young girls that they belong in STEM and science, technology, engineering and math careers. We invite you, as a female STEM professional, to share with our girls a bit about your STEM path, your work and the challenges you faced.

By visiting a class, in person, you help them connect what they’re learning to real world jobs—getting them more excited about STEM. Once you talk with the girls and answer their questions, you help with the hands-on project for the day. You give the girls a chance to meet the amazing women in the Bay Area so they can see themselves in a STEM career someday! You’ll inspire them to learn more, influence their beliefs and make an impressionable difference in their young lives.
