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.
