In celebration of Women’s History Month and beyond, Girls Who Game Junior Mentors are proud to spotlight women who are leading the way in STEAM careers. Through this project, students worked in small teams to research, interview, and produce digital video profiles highlighting innovative women across science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics.
This year’s spotlighted innovators include Dr. Nargis Hossain, Simone Ragland, Julianna Sciolino, and Julia Tomaka. Each of these professionals brings a unique perspective and impact to her field, and their stories provide students with authentic insight into a range of STEAM pathways and lived experiences.
Each video captures the story of a featured professional, her career journey, key accomplishments, challenges she has overcome, and the advice she offers to the next generation of STEAM leaders.
Student Technology Leaders participating in Cinematography Studies also supported this initiative, contributing their technical and creative expertise in production to help bring these stories to life.
While inspired by Women’s History Month, this project reflects an ongoing commitment to elevating and celebrating the voices of women in STEAM. These stories serve not only to honor their contributions but also to inspire students to see themselves as creators, leaders, and change-makers in these fields.
