We are off to explore to find out why aren’t there more girls in the in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math? Chatting with Miles from Tomorrowland panel of experts. #MilesEvent

****Disney provided me with an all-expense paid trip for me to cover this great event ****

Are your kids fans of the popular Disney Junior show Miles from Tomorrowland? I know my little nieces and nephews sure are. Recently on a press trip visit to Visit to Google Headquarters, I was fortunate to be able to have a chat with a panel of experts that help this great show come to life.  

The panel included Sascha Paladino, he is the man behind the character, the creator and Producer of Miles From Tomorrowland , Diane Ikemiyashiro the Director of Original Programming at Disney Junior, a Google Engineer Angela Navarro,  Dr. Yvonne Cagle, NASA Astronaut & Consultant on Miles from Tomorrowland and Isis Anchalee, Software Engineer.

This amazing panel, was there to chat about the show, and to inspire and encourage girls to get into the world of STEM. What exactly is STEM you ask? The concept of STEM, is to get kids interested in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.  STEM is a way for kids of all ages to learn and grow and have fun together.  

Google Engineer Angela Navarro is working on a computer science and media project, to find out why women are making the decision not to pursue computer science, engineering or other technical roles. She has found out that girls are making this decision, not to pursue these fields in the teen and tween years. The #2 reason that girls are not pursuing science is the perception of the role, and the perception is that it is an anti-social role, and there is no room for women in that role. What they see on screen, it does not look like them and does not make them feel welcome in the field. 

Come on a Miles adventure! A trip to Google, meeting the creator & a new Halloween-themed Miles from Tomorrowland #MilesEvent

Are you up for an adventure? Well I know I am always up for trying something new, or going on a quest, or any kind of adventure like Miles From Tomorrowland!  I recently had the chance to check out Google Headquarters in San Francisco, and what is more scientific and out of this world than Google Headquarters?? 

24 other amazing bloggers and myself were able to take a look at this amazing office building that was filled with fun. A much cooler office than my office that is for sure. From a great sitting area, to a fun pool table, to heated toilet seats (yes, you read that right!) I even heard they have a slide! A slide!? Unfortunately, we did not get to go down the slide, but that would have been cool, right?  We did get to do something at Google that was even cooler than sliding down that twisty slide, we were able to talk and have dinner with a great Miles from Tomorrowland panel! They were there to get our kids excited about science and check out a new episode of Miles from Tomorrowland!
