THE GREAT WOMEN PORTRAIT PROJECT
Educating this generation. Inspiring the next.
By revealing 'the female face' of innovation.
How?
We've created little history lessons you can give to a classroom....
"Speaking portraits" of little-known, pioneering women of STEM - science, tech, engineering and math. (Yes, we're putting the "A" in STEAM).
AI lets us move the project beyond boardrooms & offices - where it has already permeated over the last 4 years - into classrooms in 2026.
If the idea of giving girls their hidden STEM history appeals to you... here's how to gift an AI+Art Great Women of STEM "portrait gallery" to a school of your choice:
1. Buy a $100 Cdn gallery gift. 2.We'll deliver your gift to the school of your choice, and 3. We'll share student feedback with you.
