San Diego STEM Women: Creativity and Curiosity
From groundbreaking discoveries to visionary leadership, women have been at the forefront of making the San Diego region a vibrant hub for science and innovation for over a century.
This exhibit celebrates the bold thinkers and barrier-breakers who have redefined what’s possible, from early pioneers like Dr. Charlotte Baker, San Diego’s first female physician, and horticulturist Kate Sessions, to trailblazers like Girl Tech founder Janese Swanson and astronaut Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
It also features inspiring contemporary leaders like engineer Jasmine Sadler and science educator Khamphet Pease, whose work continues to empower young minds through creativity, curiosity, and community engagement.
Join us as we honor their legacy and explore how San Diego women have inspired generations of girls to dream big, break barriers, and create a future where opportunity in STEM knows no bounds.
