About Event

We're bringing together the Tacoma tech, startup and educational community to showcase Women in STEAM who call Tacoma home.

Join us for an afternoon of inspiration and empowerment as we hear from a diverse panel of women across Cybersecurity, Aerospace, Engineering and STEAM education.

Be inspired as you learn about their paths leading to their current career, their interests in STEAM, and how we as a community can support and provide access to emerging high school students exploring careers in these fields through serving as role models, mentors, advocates & allies.

We have invited Tacoma STEAM and other area high schools to join us for this panel with takeaways that are sure to set them on an empowered educational and career journey.

Lunch will be provided thanks to our generous sponsors WTIA and Startup253. Preference given to registrations received by EOD Friday, 10/27. Please indicate dietary preferences in the registration form.
