Stanford, MS in Mechatronics

MIT, BS in Mechanical Engineering

Gal is an MIT and Stanford alumna with extensive experience in the medical device industry as a mechanical engineer and lifecycle product leader. Previous devices worked on include surgical robots, assistive devices, diagnostic technology, prosthetics, and drug delivery devices, resulting in two publications and five patents. 

Gal also received a scholarship award that funded her entire master's degree, allowing her to be a teaching assistant for a senior mechanical engineering capstone course at Stanford where she led four student teams through their design projects for two years. She has found great fulfillment working with young students and helping support their journeys towards becoming mechanical engineers.

Northeastern, MS in Human Factors

UMass Lowell, BS in Biomedical Engineering, Minor in UTeach STEM Teaching

William fostered a passion for engineering education and encouraged students from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in STEM through the UTeach STEM Teaching Program at UMass Lowell. He designed engaging lessons to introduce students in local high schools to the engineering design cycle and complex engineering concepts, including bridge building, the physics of flight, assistive device design, and biomedical optics. 

Northwestern, BS/MS in Biomedical Engineering

From a young age, I was exposed to many strong woman role models in STEM fields, from my mother to female teachers to my own peers. As a whole, I felt supported in my pursuit of my combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern. 

However, I also experienced unfair treatment from professors, even from female faculty, and the impostor syndrome of being in spaces dominated by men. I recognize other women have not necessarily had the same positive forces in their lives as I did, and even small instances of friction can have a drastic effect. 

While at Northwestern, I was involved as an Executive Board Member and later Co-President of Girls Empowered by Math and Science (GEMS) while at Northwestern, which focused on developing and hosting programming for young girls at local middle schools and high schools to allow them to discover and foster their passions for STEM fields in a space free of the fear of judgment or failure. I saw firsthand the significance of creating these spaces and the impact that we can have when we make STEM subjects accessible to young girls through interesting and engaging projects.

I’m so excited to empower young girls through engineering and help them discover their interests and foster their confidence, resilience, and individuality — all traits I wish I had developed earlier in my career. I’m confident that E2E™  will provide girls an environment where they’ll feel challenged but secure enough to grow as individuals. My hope is that girls will walk away with the tools they need to succeed in the pursuit of their passions!

Northeastern, BS in Mechanical Engineering

Growing up, I was drawn to all things STEM related! A love of dinosaurs as a toddler turned into a love of robotics and building when I was in middle school, which turned into a love of biology, chemistry, and physics when I was in high school. 

I decided to keep pursuing STEM while I was in college and in May 2022 I graduated from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. 

Both during and post college, I have been working in engineering roles in the medical device field, at big companies as well as at smaller start-ups, and I love getting the chance to work to improve someone's quality of life by supporting the development of the next best product. STEM has brought me so much joy and I want to help the next generation experience the same!

Occidental College, BS in Politics

Maddie Solomon is the Assistant Director of Jewish Outreach for Anti-Defamation League's National Affairs department. She is a Politics graduate of Occidental College, and Denver School of the Arts high school, where she majored in creative writing for seven years. Maddie's past fellowship and internship experience includes Southern Poverty Law Center, Jewish Federations of North America, CentroNia, City Year, She's the First, Hillel International, Pay Our Interns, and American Jewish Committee. 

Her work has been published in The Denver Post, The Jewish Journal, Women's Media Center, and other publications.  An advocate, writer, and community builder at heart, Maddie has hosted hundreds of events for multiple audiences and generations -- from Denver, to Los Angeles, to Boston and beyond.

MIT, BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering

I'm a Mechanical Engineer living in
the Boston area. I have my Bachelors and Masters degrees from MIT in Mechanical Engineering. Outside of my coursework, I was on the Varsity
Rowing team and was involved in tour guiding, building electric race cars for national competitions, and teaching/mentoring younger
students.  Ater graduate school, I worked for MIT's Women in Technology Program in MechE developing a "flipped classroom"
curriculum and lab demonstration activities. Nowadays, I work at Cognex, a machine vision company in Natick MA that produces vision
systems for warehouse management/logistics and manufacturing inspections, where I am a product mechanical engineer.
