Tech Women | Tech Girls – A Week of STEMspiration!
2015-11-25 18:22:04.000 – Kaitlyn O’Brien, Co-Director of Summit Operations
The NH High Tech Council (NHHTC) Tech Women | Tech Girls launched its first ever Tech Women Ambassadors week-long program, beginning Monday November 16 and concluding Friday November 20. Several workshops took place at various venues, encouraging young women across the state to consider a STEM-based career. I was lucky enough to visit with a great group of 9th grade girls at the White Mountain Community College in Berlin, NH last Friday to share my own experiences about pursuing a career in meteorology.
A piece of rime ice from the summit was passed around the classroom. Photo courtesy of NH Division of Economic DevelopmentI thoroughly enjoyed telling my story and talking about all of the awesome and exciting weather events I get to experience working on the summit of Mount Washington. It’s so important to encourage young women to consider a career path that they may have never thought about before, or simply assumed would be impossible to pursue. Choosing a challenging career is never easy, but it’s certainly very rewarding. The opportunities are endless!
I look forward to future programs offered by Tech Women | Tech Girls!
