Summary: The Kentucky Girls STEM Collaborative will host its annual conference Friday, October 12 at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. The next day, SKyTeach will help facilitate a Girls in Science STEM Day at Snell Hall on the campus of Western Kentucky University. Together, the two events will reach out to girls and encourage them to pursue STEM disciplines in high school and college and work in STEM fields once they graduate. In this episode of the Innovation Update, Josh talks with UK's Sue Scheff and WKU's Melissa Rudloff about the conference and the Girls in STEM day, and also why encouraging girls in STEM is vital to Kentucky's future.
