LIVE@Frost Science: The Future of STEM is Female

Miami, FL – March 30, 2022 – On Wednesday, March 30, the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science continued its LIVE@Frost Science evening lecture series with “The Future of STEM is Female” inside the Frost Planetarium. As a Smithsonian Affiliate, Frost Science was proud to join the Smithsonian #BecauseOfHerStory campaign to elevate the stories of a diverse group of women in the Miami community as part of the American Women’s History Initiative (AWHI). Women remain underrepresented in STEM, and Frost Science is committed to providing opportunities to engage the public in spotlighting STEM role models. The night’s featured speakers included Amaka Amula, a STEM-for-girls advocate and founder of the Tech Girl Power non-profit, along with local female engineers, including Jordan Baker, Dr. Christina Drake, Denise Mendez, and Brianna Woods. The event began with a welcome by Sara Raposo, Director of Educational Programs at Frost Science.
