  • “My daughter has left each [STEM E3Jam Session] feeling so inspired with a new set of dreams, goals and opportunities unlocked! I cannot underscore enough the impact this experience has had on her. She has mentioned after both Google and Medtronic how impactful it was to her to see women of color in those spaces. She expressed that seeing them in these creative, powerful, life changing roles has helped her feel more confident and more resolved in her belief that achieving her own dreams is possible. Thank you, thank you!”

  • My children had the opportunity to participate in the Stem E3 Program at Medtronic, and absolutely loved it! They loved the opportunity to learn more about robotic surgery and how various Medtronic products work. As a perioperative nurse familiar with Medtronic, it was a perfect full-circle exposure/experience for them. Thank you for sparking their curiosity and desire to dig deeper!”

Today, YWCA Boulder County’s STEM program has grown to include introductory Jam Sessions and Workshops for a deeper dive into a STEM area of interest, including healthcare and biomedical technology, networking and connectivity, business technology, and computer science.
