Science spans the real world and is applied to our daily lives in more ways than we typically think about. From robotics to genetics to medical technology, STEM scientists are exploring the far limits of the field (and in some cases, redefining them completely). Connect with leading STEM professionals and explore the possibilities of careers in biomechanics, prosthetics, environmental science, neuropsychology, tissue engineering, epidemiology, biophotography, pharmacology, and beyond. With this launchpad, you’ll feel informed and prepared as you apply to university — and jump right into your major field of study.
A lot of women struggle with perfectionism. We don’t like to fail. But to be an engineer, you have to accept failure. I’ve learned here that it’s okay to mess up and to forgive yourself and move on.
