WP Autumn 2023 IVLP Spotlight!
"Hidden No More":
Empowering Women Leaders in STEM
October 28 - November 1, 2023
“Hidden No More”, a special IVLP initiative inspired by the work of African-American women scientists at NASA during the Space Age (the subject of the movie "Hidden Figures"), brought women leaders from Antigua, Brazil, Norway, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Uganda and Uzbekistan to St. Petersburg for interaction with our outstanding STEM teaching resources, including the Salvador Dali Museum, Jacobson Technical High School, Seminole High School, Lakewood High School, the USF College of Marine Science Oceanography Camp for Girls, the St. Pete Innovation District, St. Petersburg College STEM Center, and the SPC Innovation Lab, where they met with Ms. Nicole Stott, a NASA Space Shuttle astronaut! On October 30, WP partnered with USFSP Student Government for a "community conversation" open to the public to meet and interact with these pioneering women change-makers during the panel discussion and at the reception.
