Program Description

Event Details

Join the CT Women's Hall of Fame for a discussion on women in STEM.

Women have been transforming our world through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for centuries - yet they have historically been left out of the conversation and even discouraged from participating in these fields.

Today only 25% of STEM jobs in the U.S. are held by women and more than two-thirds of young women feel they must work harder than men to be taken seriously in STEM.

This program traces the roots of these issues and demonstrates the myriad ways Connecticut women in STEM have transformed our world.
