British A
irways and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington hosted an event this week to encourage young girls to pursue careers in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) fields.
The event, which was hosted on August 4 at the Washington Dulles Airport and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, gave the chance for 22 middle and high school-aged girls to meet with professionals in the STEM field, and learn about their career options.
During the event, the girls received a private museum tour, a viewing of a history of aviation movie, an airport tour, and time to speak with professionals onboard one of British Airways’ A380 planes.
This event was part of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ mission to enhance the lives of youth in the community.
