TechWomen is a program run by the US Department of State that empowers, connects and supports the next generation of women leaders in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) from Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East by providing them the access and opportunity needed to advance their careers, pursue their dreams, and inspire women and girls in their communities.
This year, Foundry staff members Virginia Altoe and Suksham Barun are hosting Emerging Leader Yara Maalouf from Lebanon.
Learn more about TechWomen and the Emerging Leaders hosted at Berkeley Lab. They will also be hosting a seminar on October 29 to share more about the program and their work.
