STEM Together
Women make up only 35% of the STEM workforce. Despite their capabilities and potential, women continue to face significant barriers in STEM fields. Some states may eliminate university programs and ban strategies that support girls in STEM. We are taking action, and we can't do it alone.
This is why we've launched the "STEM Together" campaign—an initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges girls and women face in STEM and mobilizing our community to act. The campaign urges individuals and organizations to pledge as allies, committing to support and advance gender equity in STEM.
Join us in this vital effort. By standing together, we can break down barriers and create a more inclusive environment where all aspiring scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians can thrive. We invite you to stand with girls and STEM Together.
Pledge today and join the movement to uplift and empower every girl and woman in STEM.
