“When women are not involved in science and technology, experiences, insight, and needs that are unique to women are overlooked and innovation is limited. Attracting and retaining more women in the STEM workforce maximizes creativity, competitiveness, and scientific advancement. The vision of the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation’s GIE program is to address this gender gap by bringing more girls into the engineering pipeline at a young age.“
