Edison Hosts
10th Annual We Are IT, Past Participants Sought
Edison State Community College will be hosting its tenth annual We Are
IT conference for young women on Friday, November 13 at the Piqua
Campus. The daylong event is designed to help increase awareness and
boost interest within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(S.T.E.M.) career fields among young women.
The program provides a broad-based introduction to S.T.E.M. and its
application to various career fields. During the day, students will
participate in numerous hands-on breakout sessions that will give them
a glimpse in to real world environments.
Breakout session topics include, math, chemistry, physics, robotics,
networking, computer hardware, programming software, computer
forensics, and more.
Each year, Edison State hosts over 200 young women from schools
throughout the greater Miami Valley. With 2015 marking the ten-year
anniversary of the event, Edison boasts over 2,000 past participants of
We Are IT!
Past participants are encouraged to join in the activities as a lunch
buddies at the event. Lunch buddies will eat lunch with a group of
young ladies and discuss what they do for a living and how S.T.E.M.
principles tie in with their career.
Those interested in participating as a lunch buddy are asked to contact
Amy Crow, Information Technology Trainer at Edison, by emailing
