Cheers to 10 Years! A Sparkling Recap of the STEMblazers Mocktail Event 🍹✨

This year’s STEMblazers Mocktail Event was more than a celebration — it was a milestone. As we marked the 10th anniversary of this signature gathering, the room overflowed with excitement, inspiration, and the unmistakable energy of young women ready to shape the future of STEM.

More than half the room was filled with brilliant young ladies from local high schools and universities, each bringing curiosity and big dreams. They were joined by professionals, mentors, and partners who came ready to listen, encourage, and spark conversations that shape futures.

We were honored to hear from Nicole Mendoza, who shared how the Mocktail Event helped shape her journey — a full-circle moment made even more meaningful as we celebrate a decade of empowering the next generation.

Our keynote speaker, Kim “KC” Campbell, set the tone for the evening with a powerful reminder to push through fear to find courage. Her message resonated deeply, especially with students stepping into new opportunities and discovering their own strength.

The Mocktail Event is intended to be a place where young women can connect, share, and learn to step boldly into spaces that need their ideas and leadership.

THANK YOU to our mentors, partners and sponsors for helping us create a space where more women see themselves thriving in STEM.

Raising our glass to connection, to courage, and to 10 years of changing the face of STEM — with many more to come. 🥂✨

What an unforgettable evening — and what a future ahead!
