SAi’s Prasha Sarwate Hosts 2nd Wonder Women in STEM Conference

Prasha Sarwate with assistance from Krithika Muthukumaran held the second Annual Wonder Women in STEM Online Conference between Nov 2-3, 2019. The main mission for the conference this year was to equip the audience with tools and resources to fearlessly pivot in their careers, so they can stay and flourish in STEM professions.

STEM needs women and women need STEM. Currently the industry is facing a talent crisis, with more than 2.8million STEM jobs went unfilled in 2018. Having more women qualified and willing to work in these jobs can solve the crisis for industries and also for the women who aspire to have economically stable and fulfilling careers. Prasha’s Her STEM Story Podcast has interviewed over 100 women in different STEM professions so far and the one common theme that jumps out for their success in STEM is their ability to pivot well.

The conference brought the most inspiring women in STEM together to share the tools and techniques that have worked for them in pivoting! Topics like, mentorship, confidence building, career planning and many more were covered to help women achieve their full potential in STEM.

The conference had 18 speakers, 6 workshops, 6 sponsors, and 100 sign ups!
