ARNOLD, Md. -- The 780th Military Intelligence Brigade (Cyber) supported a “Girl STEM Empowerment” event hosted by the Maryland STEM Festival and had the privilege of engaging 50 young ladies, their families, and influencers, at Anne Arundel Community College, October 26.
“The biggest takeaway was giving these girls an alternative way to break into the STEM (cyber, intel) world. Many of these young women had no idea that the military was a viable route, whether that be officer or enlisted. Unless these girls had a military parent who worked/works with the military, it seemed like getting into STEM via the military was simply something they were unaware of. This belief is something 1st Lt. Wells and I sought to break by informing them the various avenues they can take by joining the military/army cyber,” Army Sgt. Leah Hanstein, Digital Network Exploitation Analyst (DNEA), Headquarters and Operations Company, Task Force Praetorian
“There are many young women who are enthusiastic about both technology as well as service. It became apparent that most girls, and their families, didn't know that there are technical opportunities in the military, and they were also unaware of the fact that the Army has members with varying levels of education. Most importantly, it was refreshing to see so many young ladies smiling and asking, ‘How can I be like you?’” 1st Lt. Marie Wells, cyberspace operations officer, 781st Military Intelligence Battalion (Cyber)
