Our high-school program, Rosie Innovators, enables us to continue to build upon the trust and long-term relationships established with young women and their families, creating our very own, STEM pipeline that runs from preschool to college.
| The program is open to young women in 10th and 11th grade in the fall of 2023. We'll meet on Monday evenings at a metro-accessible location in Arlington, VA starting in September 2023, and in-person attendance is required to participate in the program. There will also be at least two Saturday events (date and time TBD). |

So what is Rosie Innovators? Our program was designed by a former college admissions professional to prepare young women interested in STEM for college and careers in the field. In 2023-24, we’ll be focusing on becoming a member of the STEM community - from meeting real women in STEM and hearing their stories, to developing soft skills - improving written and oral communication, preparing effective resumes, learning how to network, navigating failure etc. - that are essential to success in STEM. There will also be at least two Saturday events. See the tentative schedule below - there may be changes as the dates get closer. Note that each monthly meeting will also include a Women in STEM speaker who will share how the meeting's topic has impacted her STEM journey! |

We’ll also be supporting each participant in crafting their own opportunities in STEM - from applying to internships and summer programs to preparing college applications. As one 2022-23 participant described the program, “I would like to thank you for a great year in the Rosie Innovators program. I have really enjoyed this experience and the wonderful connections it has given me. I feel much more prepared and confident for my future in STEM because of the vast resources, events, and connections you have provided me with.” |
