Our Story
Play Like a Girl celebrates the countdown to its 20th anniversary with the national launch of Power Hour, a free mentoring program designed to level the playing field for girls.
Women make up less than one-third of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce, and it has been proven that girls are systematically tracked away from STEM throughout their education. Personal, firsthand connections with role models are essential for girls to see what’s possible.
Girls will learn tips and tools they can use to win on any field—all while having fun and making new connections for a future in STEM!
Women role models from Bridgestone will mentor two small groups of girls, sharing a diverse range of perspectives and experiences about college and careers!
Every girl will leave with a custom Play Like a Girl tote bag, Bridgestone notebook and pen set and so much more!
Mix and mingle with local influencers and icons from the STEM community!
Plus photo ops, guest appearances, and more!
Coming to Communities Across the Country!
Power Hour is a free event! Space is limited. Each event is first-come, first-served.
