Energy’s New Wave: Meet 4 Women Powering America’s Clean Energy Transition #EnhancedByEngineering @INWED1919 #INWED24
In honor of International Women in Engineering day, today we are celebrating female engineers from across the globe.
Earlier this year, CNET highlighted four women working to push America forward towards clean energy policies. The article features Bobuchi Ken-Opurum, Grace Stanke, Marissa Sisk, and Sanjana Paul. Read more about their work here:
A startup founder helping tribal communities establish microgrids. A Nigerian immigrant helping low-income Texas residents get solar power. A pageant queen building miniaturized nuclear reactors. An engineer bringing a hackathon approach to the climate crisis.
What ties these people together is the energy of youth and a sense of urgency in finding solutions to address the problems arising from climate change. In the face of rising energy prices and the keenly felt impacts of the climate crisis — including unpredictable and extreme weather that can affect everything from our health to our homes — they’re shaping their careers around pursuing these solutions.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
