Mary Kay Inc. welcomed 30 students from Lewisville high School to its Richard R. Rogers Manufacturing/R&D Center to learn about the potentials of a career in STEM. Students were given a guided tour of the facility and learned about opportunities to work in a STEM-related career in the global beauty and manufacturing industry. The event was designed to inspire and encourage the next generation of female STEM leaders.
Students participated in a Cosmetic Chemistry class and hands-on experiment that illustrated the process of building complex product formulations and allowed them to create their own Mary Kay Unlimited Lip Gloss.
“Empowering and inspiring the next generation of female scientists and innovators is a winning formula ensuring women are more equally represented in the future of STEM,” said Dr. Lucy Gildea, Mary Kay Chief Brand and Scientific Officer. “By giving them the tools and knowledge to explore STEM fields, we’re nurturing future leaders who will shape the beauty and STEM industries. Witnessing their curiosity take hold and the spark ignite as they imagine the possibilities of their future in STEM – it’s tremendous!”
