SAN DIEGO -- In honor of “International Women's Day,” a San Diego-based nonprofit is hosting the"Women Who Inspire” conference on Friday for 200 San Diego Unified School District students from underserved schools.
Through motivational speeches and workshops, the students will be hearing from women in the prime of their careers, representing companies from across San Diego in STEAM industries. Biocom said San Diego is a hotbed for bringing up women in STEAM careers because San Diego ranks in the top 5 nationally for the number of tech jobs. However, currently women only make up 22% of this region's computers and math workforce.
Representation of women is the lowest in engineering among the major occupational categories in S&E.
