Did you know that of the 47% of females in the workforce, only 14% are in engineering? The Women’s Engineering Society is hoping to change that with future generations through raising awareness and highlighting exciting career opportunities for women in engineering. Their annual event, International Women in Engineering Day (INWED), is happening on June 23 this year, and the theme for 2021…

In partnership with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University Society of Women Engineers Chapter, Pink Space Theory is hosting, The College Experience Panel Series. This virtual 3-panel series will spotlight the college experiences of women in STEM majors! This three-part series will have panelists from universities across the country who will share their experiences with remote learning, STEM organizations, and work/life balance. Pink Space Theory is a mobile STEAM-based makerspace located in the Washington DC Metro Area. Everyone is welcome to join and learn!

There is a need to be met, especially in Prince William County, to build girls’ confidence in math and give them the tools for future success. In Prince William County, the Standard of Learning of Math passing rate for all fourth-grade students is 86%, but for Hispanic and Black girls, the passing rates drop to 81.73% and 79.33%. The passing rate further declines to 78.20% for girls that come from economically disadvantaged communities.

Pink Space Theory works to spark a love for STEAM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) in girls and minorities, and our mobile makerspace is based in the Washington D.C. area. Our most recent event saw us uniting with one of our successful Pink Space Theory volunteers – Yuktha.
