Ella Petersen Capstone

My capstone is a website, a video, and a panel. Ari and I worked together to shed light on the representation of women in the workplace, specifically STEM and business. Ari and I both want to go into underrepresented fields for women: I want to go into business and she wants to be an engineer. First, we interviewed women at the petrochemical company, Braskem, about their experiences being women engineers. We made a video of the interviews as well as messages that they have for young girls going into an underrepresented career. Then, we researched what it was like for women in our fields, and we held a panel of women in business and STEM in the drama studio. We had an information session with underclassmen where they could ask women about what it is like, and they were able to hear advice about working in an underrepresented field. Finally, we made a website where you can see all of this and a piece about how important our fields are to us. I benefited greatly from this project. I was able to hear really important women speak about what it is like in my career field and I received some advice from them that will stay with me as I enter this new chapter in my life. http://editor.wix.com/html/editor/web/renderer/external_preview/document/c7a6f084-29c4-4d88-bf02-06d8694f68f8?metaSiteId=67101350-c96c-43c3-bfce-534c2d8657c7
