LIGHT

Inspiring Young Women in STEM

Our goal is to inspire girls to engage in STEM and follow their dreams. We achieve it by hosting yearly conferences encouraging and informing young women about how they can participate in STEM.

Description

In 2018, we initiated LIGHT, our girl empowerment conference. We invited Israeli women, business leaders, university scientists, and FRC alumni to lecture about their growth as women in STEM. Our goal is to inspire girls to engage in STEM and follow their dreams.

In 2019 we took it one step further and added our poster panel. In order to raise awareness of lesser-known inspirational women in STEM, we encouraged team members to prepare a short presentation about these women. Eight team members lectured about these women and their accomplishments. The panel was a success and it exposed the guests to lesser-known women in the fields of STEM.
