Girls of Innovation

The Connecticut Technology Council and the Women of Innovation Planning Committee instituted the Girls of Innovation in 2009. 

Each summer, volunteers come out to support the Girls of Innovation Science Challenge - Thanks to all who participated on 7/14 - we had a bright group of 35 girls and 25 mentors at the Science Center. See the event pictures here!

To learn more about this new program inspiring girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, go to www.ct.org/girlsofinnovation.
