There will be presentations from area professionals, activities to help understand career paths, and videos in the aquarium’s Neptune’s Theater.

Last month, the North Carolina Aquariums joined with other institutions to encourage women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or STEM, Feb. 11 during International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
At the North Carolina Aquariums, women in STEM are scientists, biologists, conservationists, researchers and veterinarians and engage in shark research, butterfly and frog conservation, marine animal husbandry and enrichment, and sea turtle care.
