The Emerald Coast Science Center’s Fifth Annual Women in Science Conference is scheduled for September 9, 2021 at Northwest Florida State College. Pursuing a degree and an occupation in STEM career fields can open countless doors for a lifetime. At the Women in Science Conference, the goal is to inspire the next generation of female scientists, engineers, doctors, and more. Young women will have the opportunity to hear from women in professional STEM fields right here in Okaloosa County, as they enlighten our audience about their careers and deliver advice. This is an excellent event for students of all ages and genders to receive first hand advice and information from local STEM professionals. This event is presented by Emerald Coast Science Center, Fort Walton Beach Medical Center, and Twin Cities Hospital.

The evening will consist of inspirational presentations from professional women in STEM careers. All ages are welcome, especially middle school and high school students looking to discover careers in STEM. Guests will have a chance to mingle with the speakers and other guest professionals, and all speakers will be a part of an open panel Q&A session for audience members to ask questions. Light refreshments provided.
