Event Overview

Join us March 19, 2026, we are celebrating International Women's Day 2026 and our March theme of Equity & Access (STEM). This event brings together visionary female tech leaders from Nigeria and Brazil for an immersive "Digital Storybook" experience. 

"Women in Tech: Stories from the Field" uses Google Earth to virtually transport educators into the local communities of our speakers. Our speakers will then share the "pivot points" and innovations that have defined their leadership. 

This session is designed to move from inspiration to action, providing educators with the strategies and Google tools needed to dismantle barriers and empower the next generation of women in STEM within their own classrooms.
