Advice for the next generation of women who want to lead in STEM:
As women remain dramatically underrepresented across all STEM studies and careers, how do we make strides to close the gender gap and fuel the next generation of female innovators? At a time when technology continues to transform the way we live, work and learn, the need to close the STEM gender gap is more critical than ever.

Students from the New York University Tandon School of Engineering were tasked with developing innovative solutions around the impact electric vehicles will have on urban mobility.

I was first introduced to STEM when a high school friend asked me if I wanted to join the robotics team he created for our school. Had I not had him in my personal network, I would never have taken STEM seriously as a profession. Amazingly, these small interactions have had a domino effect. I’ve managed to build my network by expressing my passions with professors who have then later recommended me for research positions and even been my reference contacts in my job search.
