Why STEM for Her?

Women make up

51.5%

of Chattanooga’s population, yet in key STEM fields like IT and engineering, female representation is disproportionately low.

For example, only

23.9%

of Chattanooga's IT workforce is female.

This program aims to bridge the gap by equipping the next generation of female leaders with the tools, guidance, and real-world experiences they need to explore and excel in STEM fields.
