AAUW: TechSavvy

Event Details

Women are underrepresented in STEM – or science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Studies point to a coming shortage of academics and professionals in STEM fields, which has implications for the national security and industrial competiveness of the United States.
To help put more women into the STEM pipeline, AAUW Honolulu hosts Tech Savvy.
While girls start at the same levels of achievement in STEM-related classes, by adolescence they begin to lose interest in the subjects. Tech Savvy is a day-long conference designed to attract sixth- to ninth-grade girls to STEM careers by exposing them to a variety of hands-on exercises.
