LGBTQIA+ people have always been a part of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics - pushing boundaries, asking bold questions, and shaping the world we live in. 

With this event we want to shine a spotlight on the innovators, thinkers, and trailblazers from across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum who are transforming STEM from the lab bench to the launch pad. 

With a fabulous live science show, interactive activities, and more, join us as we celebrate the past, present, and future of LGBTQIA+ excellence in STEM. Representation matters now more than ever, let's stand together for a more inclusive, equitable future.

This space is for everyone. Allies welcome. Curiosity encouraged.
