We are excited to share some highlights from our #GirlsBuildSolutions day at Qualcomm headquarters in San Diego. It was an incredible experience, featuring inspiring speakers, including Monique Rodriguez, Qualcomm's Vice President of Government Affairs. Attendees had the opportunity to participate in a design charrette, a collaborative brainstorming session designed to generate creative solutions to complex problems. These interactive sessions emphasized communication, collaboration, and creativity, encouraging a rich exchange of diverse perspectives and the cross-pollination of ideas. Together, we designed solutions to expose, engage, and prepare more young people for careers in a dynamic and evolving STEM workforce. We focused on four critical sectors: ▶️ Next Level Tech ▶️Climate and Environmental Sciences ▶️Health and Life Sciences ▶️Space and Earth Sciences A big thank you to Qualcomm for hosting us at their headquarters and supporting this vital initiative. We are inspired and motivated by the collective effort to shape the future of STEM education and workforce development.
