Case Study: Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas closes the gender gap in STEM with Ericsson fiber network and digital transformation

Closing the gender gap in STEM

The customer, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, faced the challenge of developing female leaders in STEM to support greater gender diversity in the workplace. Vendor Ericsson worked with them to develop a fiber network for their camp to help tackle this gender imbalance.

Ericsson implemented a solution that included developing a fiber network to transform the camp into a dedicated STEM center. This enabled the digitalization of volunteer onboarding and cloud-based processes. The measurable impact was that 86 percent of girls who attended the camp reported being more interested in STEM as a result.
