Are the hidden, gendered dynamics of STEM shaping your experience — or someone else’s? Join us for a virtual workshop exploring these dynamics and building practical skills for awareness, genuine connection, and sustainable support.

May 7 | 12:00–1:30 PM MT | Virtual | Free

Grounded in award-winning research on women’s lived experiences in engineering, this workshop blends research-based insight with an experiential process that builds trust and connection.

Facilitated by Dr. Ann-Louise Howard, PhD, researcher, consultant, and founder of Her Work in Engineering, whose award-winning research uncovered the hidden, everyday gendered dynamics shaping women’s experiences in engineering.
