The STEM Career Conference has been organized since 2003 by the AAUW Long Beach branch and is currently held at Long Beach City College, Liberal Arts Campus. Women with careers in science, technology, engineering and math present workshops to middle-school girls to excite them about the possibilities of such careers and to encourage them to attend college. The AAUW STEM Career Conference served a pressing community need when it was conceived in 2003. After 20 successful years of introducing girls to STEM fields, this project will be discontinued as of February 2025.  Learn More about the Stem Career Conference HERE.
