CEOs of General Motors, Girl Scouts share how they thrive in male-dominated STEM fields

[Aug. 5, 2020: GMA]

Know a young girl with an interest in science, technology, engineering and math?

Then she'll want to tune into "Awesome Girls: Engineer Your World," a “Show and Tell” collaborative discussion with Mary Barra, chairman and CEO of General Motors, and Sylvia Acevedo, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, moderated by Kelly Parisi, head of communications of Girl Scouts of the USA.

During the livestream, Barra and Acevedo will show photos and videos and share other resources that tell their stories of becoming successful engineers and leaders in traditionally male-dominated fields.

They’ll also tell girls how they can follow in their footsteps by earning the new Automotive Engineering three-badge series for Daisies (grades K-1), Brownies (grades 2-3) and Juniors (grades 4-5), made possible through support from GM.
