If you missed them, we are bringing them back this #ThrowBackThursday and sharing the story behind each image.
Last February, we celebrated National Engineering Week with a series of memes about Latinas Engineers. Latina Engineers composed only 2% of the science and engineering workforce in 2010. To inspire future Latinas to consider Engineering careers, we wanted to highlight Latinas currently in working in Engineering Fields. If you missed them, we are bringing them back this #ThrowBackThursday and sharing the story behind each image. Dayrene is a Latinas in STEM member and an electrical engineering student at NJIT. In this image, Dayrene demonstrated how to hardwire a LED strip to middle school girls attending a Latinas in STEM 101 conference in 2015. This picture was taken last spring at an afterschool program put on by Latinas in STEM volunteers. As part of the afterschool program, the girls designed and built light-up shoes. Kristine Gonzales has a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master's degree in Engineering Management from Northeastern University. Here she is seen with one of the planes she helped produce at BAE Systems. Brianne Martin, is a Latinas in STEM member and Customer Account Manger for Zodiac Aerospace. She has a degree in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and is currently on the board of the SHPE DFW chapter. It’s never too early to start inspiring young Latinas to become engineers! In this image, our Director of K-12 Outreach Maribel Mendoza's young daughter plays with pieces of wood and colored pencils. Maribel is currently Senior Product Manager for Gaggle. Madeline Salazar is seen here leading Latinas in STEM volunteer event. Madeline is the former director of college programming for Latinas in STEM and is currently a 3-D Engineer at Northrup Grumman. Noramay Cadena, co-founder of Latinas in STEM, is seen here posing next to a rocket she helped create while she worked with Boeing. Noramay now manages her own hardware accelerator, Make in LA, and is considered one of the most powerful women engineers in 2016 by Business Insider. Email me your suggestions!
