Cranbrook Institute of Science | Women Rock Science

Women Rock Science is a women-led fundraising event that aims to celebrate women in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and ignite curiosity in children. Proceeds from the event will help bring more STEAM programming, delivered by Cranbrook Institute of Science educators, to PreK-12 students in underserved communities throughout Michigan, including Detroit, Flint, Pontiac, Southfield, and others.

The 4th annual Women Rock Science gala will be held virtually.

Last year, the Women Rock Science virtual gala raised more than $250,000 toward STEAM education!

Every year, the Women Rock Science gala includes an opportunity to recognize three individuals who are making a difference in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through an Outstanding Educator, Outstanding Leader, and Rock Star Award.
