HANDS ON STEM EXPERIENCES.

Since 2012, Women in Homeland Security (WHS) has been connecting students with exciting hands-on field trips related to homeland and national security. With minimal poster boards and no lecturing, WHS focuses on bringing the coolest STEM out there to our next generation of STEM leaders. Geared toward kids who may not realize the many exciting STEM opprutunities that are available to them and extending the possibilities for those who do, we work with both the public and private sector to feature the latest advancements to support the most pressing issues -- cyber security, drones, robotics, weaponry, mission support, martime engineering, and much more.

Engage with WHS STEM to experience what STEM can do to protect, secure, and make our nation more resilient.
