The STEM Committee

The AWAF STEM Committee engages K–12 students, especially young women, by building an interest and confidence in STEM skills with a focus on automotive and mobility industries. Through HER Story panels, career workshops, and hands-on STEM Kits, students gain insights into college, careers, and industry challenges. AWAF fosters allyship by welcoming all genders to STEM events. The STEM Committee also helps to drive the AWAF scholarship pipeline forward, providing our scholarship application resources to the 11th and 12th grade students we visit.
