About #1MillionGirlsinSTEM Ambassadors:
#1MillionGirlsinSTEM ambassadors are people who are passionate about creating awareness of the
importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in solving local and global problems.
WomEng is changing the narrative from “What do you want to become when you grow up?” to “What problems
do you want to solve?”
