Women are earning more degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields than ever before. However, it is still much lower than the number of men.
The Executives’ Club of Chicago is looking to close that gap with its annual Women in Technology Forum event.
Titled, Fostering Girls in STEM to be Women in Tech, the event will focus on engaging young girls in STEM education and prepare them for studies and careers in technology.
An expert panel of female tech executives, founders, non-profit leaders, and advocates will take part in the discussion to get more girls in these fields. The goal is to support and bolster female talent early in the classroom all the way to their future careers.
How can we create an environment, in both schools and businesses, which encourages women to enter and advance in the tech field? This even looks to answer this question.
