Inspiring girls to explore STEM. Building the future together.  

Career pathways begin with exploration, inspiring experiences and role models, and dreaming about possibilities. Through She Engineers, girls* have access to first-hand experience where they’re the engineer and to amazing STEM role models.  

She Engineers programs and resources: 

*The Works Museum is committed to improving gender equity and representation in STEM. Our programs for girls are inclusive and welcoming to gender expansive students (cisgender and transgender girls, non-binary or gender non-conforming students, and any other girl-identifying youth).

WHY SHE ENGINEERS MATTERS

We’ve reached more than 4,200 girls in programs just for them over the past five years – but there is more work to be done. Help The Works Museum reach more girls and have more impact by supporting She Engineers. 

  • In the state of Minnesota between 2014-2021, 28% of all new jobs are projected to be in STEM.1

  • Of 4th grade girls in Minnesota, only 53% consider themselves interested in science.1

  • For students in Minnesota entering the workforce in the same year, 17% of women hold STEM careers, as opposed to 26% of men.1

  • In the United States, STEM careers pay more than twice the median average wage.2
