ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) The Asheville Museum of Science announced it is currently seeking nominees from local women and girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) who reside in Western North Carolina to be featured in a new interactive exhibit at the museum.
Through the exhibit, the museum, in partnership with the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, aims to celebrate 12-20 local women through a multimedia, hands-on experience featuring photos, video interviews and displays of local innovations.
Three of the spots will be reserved for girls under the age of 18.
The Women in STEM exhibit, titled, ‘if she can see it, she can be it,’ will be unveiled later this year and will feature women from a variety of different backgrounds, fields of study and levels of expertise. The museum received a Lyda Hill Philanthropies IF/THEN Gender Equity Grant for the proposed exhibit.

Buncombe County Commissioners will wait until later April 20th to vote on a non-discrimination ordinance. Commissioner Jasmine Beach-Ferrara presented amendments to the resolutions at the board’s virtual meeting. Public commenters also weighed in.
Buncombe County Commissioners will wait until later this month to vote on a non-discrimination ordinance. It would be the first such county ordinance in Western North Carolina since local governments were allowed to pass them in December 2020.
The law would protect people from discrimination based on long list of identities – gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, pregnancy, veteran status, hair style and more.
It was on the agenda for commissioners to vote on Tuesday. But Commissioner Jasmine Beach-Ferrara explained changes were being made to it, adding a section on housing discrimination, and that the vote would be delayed.
