Sistas in STEM is a resource for Black women and women of color to be educated, connected, and empowered in their daily lives and their passion for STEM.

"Hey Sistas!

My name is Brittany A.J. Miriki and I’m the founder of Sistas in STEM. Like many of you, I’m a young woman navigating through her career in STEM. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. Mechanical Engineering in 2016. Since then, I’ve explored career opportunities in various industries which led me to join one of the top tech companies. My interests go far beyond the workplace. I have a vision to bring the voices of Black women and women of color in STEM to the forefront. I created Sistas in STEM to unify our community and mobilize this vision. What started as a small organization in college has grown to impact many women from all walks of life. I enjoy connecting with all of you and hope to inspire more to join our STEM tribe."

NASA about Katherine Johnson

"In 1962, as NASA prepared for the orbital mission of John Glenn, Johnson was called upon to do the work that she would become most known for. The complexity of the orbital flight had required the construction of a worldwide communications network, linking tracking stations around the world to IBM computers in Washington, Cape Canaveral in Florida, and Bermuda. The computers had been programmed with the orbital equations that would control the trajectory of the capsule in Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission from liftoff to splashdown, but the astronauts were wary of putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts. As a part of the preflight checklist, Glenn asked engineers to “get the girl”—Johnson—to run the same numbers through the same equations that had been programmed into the computer, but by hand, on her desktop mechanical calculating machine.  “If she says they’re good,’” Katherine Johnson remembers the astronaut saying, “then I’m ready to go.” Glenn’s flight was a success, and marked a turning point in the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in space."

Today, more and more women are taking up roles in science and engineering fields.
They are challenging gender stereotypes and inspiring other young women to pursue their dreams. YouTube has become a platform for these female scientists to share their stories and experiences with the world.

Women in science are creating a new wave of possibilities for all those who come after them!
