2015 Collaboration Institute: Girl Panel
-
-
At the NGCP Collaboration Institute on December 3-5, state leadership teams and community members from STEM organizations across the country came to Seattle, WA to learn how collaboration as an interactive process can build capacity, sustainability, and lead to more effective partnerships. At the opening plenary session, a panel of twelve young girls shared their exciting STEM experiences. They talked about real issues they experience in their schools and extra-curricular activities. Participants of the conference were both impressed and re-energized by what these girls had to say. We were all reminded why the work we do as Collaboratives is SO important to the future of women in STEM.
