Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, History Museums, Science & Technology Museums
Mission: To organize and operate to honor achievements of women throughout history and provide educational programs that promote leadership, economic independence, and expertise in math,science, engineering and technology.
Programs: The museum has sponsored various exhibits and several educational programs throughout the year to promote their mission. The exhibits are designed to educate and challenge visitors to learn about how women have made scientific contributions to our society and to encourage girls to consider careers in math, science, engineering, and technology. Current programs we believe that every woman has an important message to share with the world. All too often, however, these stories go unrecorded and are eventually forgotten. By rediscovering the stories of brilliant women of the past and recording the inspirational lives of successful women today through videotaped and transcribed interviews, we can help young women realize a brighter future. The mission of the women at work museum is to to promote leadership, economic independence, and math, science, engineering and technology, and to recognize the efforts of individuals and organizations that support equity in education and the workplace promoting women. In support of our mission and funded by a grant given by the institute of electrical and electronics engineers, the envision engineering exhibit debuted in the fall of 2007. This exhibit was inspired in part by jean bartik, one of the first women to program computers, who said, i hope all young girls will give themselves permission to dream about any vocation.
