Women in STEM

The Baxter Academy welcomes middle school students and their families for an afternoon of engineering and design demonstrations.

Your Future, Your Design

Join us at Baxter Academy on Friday, April 3rd at 4:00 PM for Women in STEM, a free one-hour showcase celebrating the role of women and girls in science, technology, engineering, and math. Baxter students will lead live engineering and design demonstrations, giving 8th graders and their families a front-row look at what a STEM education can look and feel like.

This event is rooted in Baxter's belief that the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators is already in the room. If you are a young woman wondering whether STEM is for you, come see yourself in the work. Held just before the First Friday Art Walk, it is the perfect start to your evening in Portland.

Admission is free, RSVP today!
