Since 2005, SPIE has produced an annual Women in Optics notebook (formerly formatted as a daily planner) highlighting women who are making a difference through their work and other contributions to the fields of science, optics, and engineering. Along with promoting female scientists, it serves to introduce girls, women, and underrepresented groups to the possibilities of careers in all sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Seven thousand copies of the planner are printed and distributed, free of charge, in more than 25 countries worldwide annually. We are happy to provide free copies to SPIE Members and constituents, career counselors, science teachers, and community clubs, as well as anyone interested in supporting and promoting diversity in STEM.
