Women in STEM
Empowering young women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Fostering confidence and inspiration.
Welcome to the 42nd Annual Women in STEM!
Wednesday, October 22, 2025
The goal of the Women in STEM program at BGSU is to provide a rewarding experience for 6th - 8th-graders that connects STEM education to the real world and sparks an interest in pursuing STEM majors in high school and beyond and ultimately STEM careers.
Women in STEM provides young students with a positive experience at BGSU and offers them a variety of engaging hands-on activities that allows them the opportunity to learn and interact with a wide variety of successful STEM role models.
The day will begin with a keynote presentation followed by breakout sessions that provide hands-on, fun-filled, critical thinking/learning activities. Women in STEM will help young students recognize the wide array of options available in STEM fields, inspiring them to take classes in the STEM fields throughout their educational careers.
