We'll be unpacking what the Energy Department is doing to engage girls in STEM, how the State Department engages girls in STEAM globally through public-private partnerships, and how NASA's broad STEM outreach opportunities can be tailored to support girls in STEM to become the future women leading the way in STEM discoveries, policies, and careers.
