Friday, October 11, 2019 | IGNITE Worldwide Workshop for the World Affairs Council IVLP Delegation | presentation by Cathi Rodgveller, IGNITE Worldwide CEO
For the past 13 years, IGNITE Worldwide has worked with the World Affairs Council to donate the IGNITE program to girls and educators from over 50 countries. IGNITE Worldwide's Founder and CEO, Cathi Rodgveller, gives workshops to delegations of STEM education leaders who visit as part of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).
This year, Cathi was awarded with a certificate from the State Department for her dedication to expanding IGNITE beyond the United States for the benefit of girls' education and exposure to STEM.
In October of 2019, a special delegation of leaders "Advancing Women in STEAM Fields" attended the IGNITE Worldwide workshop and learned how to launch and run the program for girls in their communities. Participants learn the best practices that make the IGNITE model so successful and how to coordinate events like panel presentation with local women in STEM.
