“For many of children that I taught, the only chance for them to change their lives for the better is to get an education – especially girls,”
Ms Dao Thi Hong Quyen, teacher and ‘Power of Radiance Awards’ 2023 awardee – a leading female figure in STEM education in Viet Nam. And that was also her story over 20 years ago. Over the course of a couple of decades, Quyen has pioneered the tech community to expand STEM education, conducting outreach to suburban and remote populations in a mission – teaching STEM and empowering girls.
A grantee of NASA and Fulbright programs, Quyen has triumphed in her own course to be an advocate along with UNICEF to close the gender divide and ensure that girls have the opportunities to succeed in a digital world.
