The goal of Curieosity is to build and strengthen the desire for young women in our community to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math. We understand that more women are needed in these fields and thought The Curieosity Student Leadership Conference would be a great opportunity to showcase some of the incredible careers available in STEM by hearing first-hand from successful women in the industry and beginning the conversation with these young women.
