We invite you to this summer launch of the Womensphere Cocktail Invention Contest – inviting all (of legal drinking age) to use STEAM* to invent the next generation of cocktails! How will your knowledge of chemistry, biology, neuroscience, psychology, or visual arts, help you invent the next cocktails? The actual competition will be in October during the Womensphere Fall Festival, but all interested participants (and tasters) should come join us this summer! (*STEAM = science, technology, engineering, arts & design, mathematics)
 
Through our partnership and collaboration on these exciting initiatives, we work on democratizing and popularizing inclusive innovation leadership and using STEAM for global challenges, across New York City, and all over the world.
