Our Programs
The National Center of Women’s Innovations works to awaken society about how women innovators have improved the world and specifically expanded the interest of girls to pursue STEM and innovative thinking, working in alliance with academic, corporate, and other not-for-profits.
K-12 STEM Program
The National Center of Women’s Innovations formed a partnership with Rosie Riveters, a group already providing stem programs to girls. Our programs combine their expertise with NCWI’s stories of the associated women innovators. The first joint program is the Dr. Gladys West GPS Challenge and was launched in May 2024.
Dr. Gladys Brown West Exhibit
Using hand-on interactive engagement, people of all backgrounds and ages will be encouraged to become the next Dr. B. West and pursue STEM fields. Designed by Virginia Tech, it will be unveiled at Virginia Tech’s Center of Innovations, in Alexandria, VA starting January 2025.
NCWI’s Comprehensive Data Base of Women Innovators Underway
NCWI is building the most comprehensive data base of all women innovators. There are tens of thousands of forgotten women innovators and we are determined the world will know them all through our searchable data base. Name a field, and a list of women’s names, their background and accomplishments will pop up. This includes women from the past, contemporary and future women’s contributions. To make this file most distinctive, we will link to available resources and sites to enable organizations to recruit, teachers to access related STEM teaching modules and youngsters to discover their foremothers. Negotiations are underway to work with an academic institution to house and support our efforts. Opportunities exist for underwriting fields of interest, individual women innovators. Make a historic difference and help expand the needed brilliant minds to meet global needs.
“To be it, one needs to see it!”
