IGNITE: Women Fueling Science and Technology
The creativity, innovation, and talent of women and girls are critical to fueling the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Yet--despite increasing recognition that STEM is essential to the world's economic growth--women globally are missing, under-represented and dropping out from STEM fields. Ignite: Women Fueling Science and Technology, an online multimedia project, will showcase inspiring, global STEM role models, with content, stories, and art sourced from women around the world.
