EXP’s Women in STEM Career Day 2025

Thursday, March 6, 2025, at Los Angeles Harbor College

An INSIGHT Into Diversity 2023 Inspiring Programs in STEM award-winning program, EXP’s Women in STEM Career Day introduces high school young women and non-binary students to STEM-related careers. Students engage through expert panels, hands-on activities, networking opportunities, and “Lunch with a STEM Professional.”

For the 2025 event on Thursday, March 6, we expect 500+ young women and non-binary students from EXP-supported high schools across Southern California to participate in this day of discovery at Los Angeles Harbor College.

“I found it inspiring because someone who looks like me and comes from a similar background has achieved so much,” a student wrote in our post-event survey. “This inspired me to continue in the STEM field and believe in myself.”

Sponsorship opportunities are available now! Contact Jessica Ureña at jessica@expfuture.org for more information.

This event is by invitation only and is not open to the public.
