W.I.S.E. Women

The W.I.S.E. Women Mentorship Program provides mentorship opportunities to high school girls who are considering STEM careers and will expose, engage, and inspire young women entering STEM careers. This application is for high school students who are seeking mentorship from a STEM professional.

Women in the STEM Economy (WISE Women) is designed to be a consortium of diverse women from all aspects of STEM that are using their voices and expertise to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion within the economic framework of the Topeka and Shawnee County area.

The goals of W.I.S.E. Women are:

    • Build a community of WISE Women whose ideas help to drive the conversation regarding women in STEM, underrepresented communities in STEM, and the future of STEM in the Topeka and Shawnee County area
    • Diversify the STEM landscape by participating in mentorship opportunities with young women who are considering STEM careers
    • Develop a robust STEM mentorship program designed to expose, engage, and inspire young women entering STEM careers

W.I.S.E Woman will run from February 26, 2024 – July 30, 2024.

To be considered for this pilot program, you must currently be attending high school in the Topeka and Shawnee County area.  You must also be able to commit to attending at least 6 mentoring activities as well as 3-4 group sessions and/or field trips during the program length.
