For the past 12 years, The Janksters, Notre Dame High School’s FIRST Robotics Competition team, has hosted the Young Women’s Engineering Symposium (YWES). This event was created to empower female and non-binary high school students interested in STEM through inviting female engineers from a variety of fields to host speaker sessions and a Q&A panel. This year the engineering fields include electrical, biomedical, software, marine, environmental, and civil. Speakers are invited to present their journeys as women in STEM and provide professional career advice.
