Bothell teen creates Girl STEMinist organization to empower fellow young women
A student at Bothell's North Creek High School is influencing fellow young women across the country with her student-led organization. At just 16-years-old, Caitlyn Widjaja is already dedicated to bridging the gender gap in STEM, the subjects of science, technology, engineering, and math.
Her organization Girl STEMinist is empowering more young women to consider careers in STEM through career exploration, collaboration and community. The group reaches young women in high school and college across the country and even across the globe through workshops that showcase the daily lives of female professionals.
Perfectly built for the virtual world, Girl STEMinist unites students online with job profiles, monthly newsletters featuring real opportunities and self-published Digital Journals that feature a wide range of STEM topics, experts and resources for personal development.
The first edition of the Digital Journal was published in February and features a collaboration of more than 20 young women from across the world. Editorial, Creative, Writers, Research and Outreach teams come together to create the Journal, which has already reached hundreds of young women who perhaps struggle to find the proper support for their interests in STEM.
