Our Mission
In the heart of Nevada, a state often overlooked for its educational rankings, NV Women in STEM emerges as a beacon of empowerment and change specifically for girls and women. Our vision is to unite with femininity, resilience, and unyielding ambition: to embed a Women in STEM Ambassador in every elementary and high school across the Silver State. But we’re not just filling spaces; We’re not just another STEM organization; we’re a sisterhood devoted to reimagining what it means to be a woman in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, especially in a state where educational landscapes need it most.
Our ambitious vision is to place Women in STEM ambassadors across every Nevada elementary and high school. We’re also in the works to kick off a podcast highlighting the incredible women leaders in STEM in Nevada.
With our youngest girls, we’re challenging the status quo right where the future starts. We’re cultivating a new landscape in Nevada through ongoing mentorship, networking opportunities, spirited collaboration, and soul-stirring inspiration. One where the women and girls who dream today are the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Together, we are dismantling stereotypes and breaking through concrete ceilings to create a space where gender doesn’t limit potential—it amplifies it.
Please stand with us. With every barrier we shatter and every voice we amplify, we’re setting a new course for what’s possible in STEM—and we’re doing it the Nevada way: boldly, fearlessly, courageously, and with a little of lady’s touch. Join NV Women in STEM as we light the path to an inclusive, equitable, and revolutionary STEM community.
