DemoChicks

Draft Day isn’t just for professional athletes anymore! 🧢🛠️

Our Chief DemoChick and Founder, Robin Thorne, is breaking down exactly why our inaugural Women in STEM Signing Day is such a massive milestone. For too long, brilliant young women haven't seen themselves represented in architecture, construction, and engineering. We are changing that narrative by celebrating their commitment to STEM with the ultimate "Draft Day" experience! 🚀✨

Robin knows firsthand what it takes to defy the odds. As a single mom who fought her way through chemical engineering, she is living proof that with determination, you can build a historic career. Now, we're building a lifelong ecosystem of "DemoScholars" and industry leaders to lift the next generation up.

Let's show these boundary-breaking young women that their future is a BIG deal! 👇

🗓️ WHEN: This Saturday, May 30th

📍 WHERE: Long Beach City College, LAC W201

🎟️ WHAT: Celebrating our scholars, breaking barriers, and breaking bread together!

See you there! Pink hard hats are optional, but the energy is mandatory! 😉💖🧱

A huge thank you to for beautifully capturing and sharing the DemoChicks story! 📣✨ Special shoutout to Adolfo Guzman-Lopez and Joshua Letona for bringing this piece to life. 🎥

When our founder, Robin Thorne, started DemoChicks, the goal was clear: knock down barriers and build up hope, passion, and opportunity for young women of color in industries where we are vastly underrepresented. 👷🏾‍♀️📐

The gap in architecture, construction, and engineering is real—but so is our community's power to close it. Through exposure, education, and mentorship, we are preparing the next generation of trailblazers right here in Long Beach and beyond. 🏗️💪🏾
