Inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators with the stories of 50 groundbreaking women in STEM—each paired with a fun, hands-on experiment that makes science exciting and accessible!

For thousands of years, women have made remarkable contributions to science, technology, engineering, and math. Though many faced barriers because of their gender, they persevered—and today, more women than ever are shaping the future of STEM.

She Can STEM brings these inspiring stories to life by exploring the pivotal moments that sparked these women’s passion for science, the challenges they overcame, and the unique interests that make them extraordinary individuals beyond the lab.

Meet just a few of the brilliant and resilient women featured:

  • Dr. Nadya Mason (Physicist): From running track and competing on the U.S. National Gymnastics Team to exploring how electrons move through materials like carbon and graphene.
  • Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer (Ecologist): A love for wild strawberries as a child led her to reconnect with her Potawatomi heritage and become a leading plant ecologist and celebrated author.
  • Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (Physicist): Once dreaming of baseball stardom and training as a dancer, she now studies the universe through astronomy and theoretical physics.
  • Dr. Raychelle Burks (Chemist): Inspired by Agatha Christie and Star Trek, she now develops portable chemical sensors that help solve real-world crimes.
  • Dr. Esther Lederberg (Microbiologist): Growing up during the Great Depression, her love of music and literature evolved into a groundbreaking career in biochemistry.

Each biography is thoughtfully paired with a simple, engaging experiment that connects kids directly to the science these women explored—turning curiosity into hands-on discovery.

Whether your child loves science, art, sports, or storytelling, the diverse role models in She Can STEM show that with curiosity, creativity, and determination, anyone can pursue a future in STEM.
