Seeking to inspire female students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the Lynwood Unified School District held its 5th annual Girl STEM Conference.
Organized by female students from both Lynwood and Firebaugh high schools, hundreds of attendees were empowered through 15 workshops, provided by teachers, students and organizations, as well keynote speakers who empowered young scholars with wisdom.
Several hands-on activities were assisted by Lynwood and Firebaugh high students in biomedical and engineering career programs.
