TAO STEAM’s mission is to unify Central Oregon’s women in STEAM community, with the vision of enabling Central Oregon’s women to reach their full STEAM potential. Our work supports the following goals:

• Create paths for girls and women interested in STEAM careers

ABOUT US
TAO STEAM is a community-based organization working together to unify Central Oregon’s STEAM community and tip the scale in favor of a gender-balanced future. We recognize the challenges faced by women in STEAM fields, and believe these can only be tackled by a gender-inclusive, collaborative approach. That’s why we look to partner and collaborate with the community, businesses, organizations and individuals to serve as a resource for learning, growth and outreach, for both women and Central Oregon as a whole.
