We also host fun events, and they are for women only! Our monthly book club, where we read books related to women or STEM fields, is a staple for us, and we also host sporadic events like museum trips, hiking, and walks. Our events are often STEM-related, and they are always fun (our main criterion).
Check out our past events, join our meetup to get notified for our next one. Event Details
