Did you spend your last family getaway along the path of totality, from Lincoln Beach, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina in order to watch a total solar? Was this event “everything” for your teen princess who happens to be a hardcore STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) aficionado? Does this same daughter, niece, and/or significant loved consider herself a pioneer in the field of STEM innovation? If so, she may have a future with Disney Imagineering! Girls ages 15 to 18 (grades 10-12) have a chance to enter an original Do-It-Yourself project that can be replicated by others. It’s time to inspire girls to use their STEM superpowers toward creating a healthier and safer world. Whether on a community- or world-focused, Marvel Studios in collaboration with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Broadcom MASTERS, and Society for Science & the Public wants to inspire the next generation of scientists!
