Mission

Tech Maiden challenges notions about what it means to teach and explore science, technology, engineering and math (“STEM”) by presenting the experiences and wisdom of successful innovators, researchers, teachers and business leaders who are challenging and evolving the way people think about STEM together with its significant implications. The support that Tech Maiden and its guest interviews lend to the academic examination of STEM research together with their theoretical and business applications is vital to inspiring young innovators, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and business thinkers about the vibrant and evolving world of STEM. It is in this spirit that I created Tech Maiden to engage students in the ever expanding STEM universe and its broadening applications.
