Women in STEM

ALCF staff members take part in several events designed to introduce young women to potential career paths in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Intro to HPC

At Argonne, this includes volunteering for the annual Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, Science Careers in Search of Women conference, and the lab’s Women in Science and Technology group. Outside of the lab, the ALCF promotes STEM careers to women through contributions to events, such as the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.
