Meet the Experts: Women in STEM
to
National Museum of Toys and Miniatures 5235 Oak St., Kansas City, Missouri
The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures
The event is held in conjunction with T/m exhibit BRIDGING THE GENDER DIVIDE: TOYS THAT BUILD STEM SKILLS.
T/m will explore the impact of STEM toys on a child’s perception of gender roles and career choices with prominent Kansas City professionals during the virtual event Meet the Experts: Women in STEM.
The live panel discussion, scheduled for Sunday, May 16 (2-3pm), will feature SureShow, Inc. CEO and Founder Dr. Shelley Cooper, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Biological Sciences Specialist Dr. Kellyann Jones-Jamtgaard, and T/m Curator of Collections Amy McKune.
How did toys shape their own career interests? What skills did they gain from play? How have social constructs about gender and race shaped STEM careers in the past? Have enough gains been made in the marketing of toys to reflect a broader audience? The panel will explore these and other themes and will conclude the event with an audience Q&A session.
Registration is required for this FREE event.
