Only 13 percent of engineers in the U.S. are women, according to the United States Department of Labor. Erika Bergman, a submarine pilot, is determined to change that statistic. Often the only woman on her submarine trips, Erika has taken a bold step by founding the Girls' Underwater Robot Camp.
Her camp teaches girls around the world to build their own underwater robots, providing hands-on experience in engineering and robotics. By fostering a love for technology and exploration, Erika aims to train the next generation of female engineers and explorers, breaking down the barriers that have long kept women underrepresented in the field.
Through innovative programs and a supportive community, Girls' Underwater Robot Camp is empowering young girls to dive into STEM careers with confidence. Erika's vision is not just to increase the number of women in engineering, but to inspire a new wave of global female leaders in technology and exploration.
