Pioneers in Skirts is a feature documentary examining the stereotyping and sexism that can chip away at a woman, limit her potential, and make her feel like she must re-think her dreams.
In the film Director Ashley Maria shares her own story as she follows the journey of 3 ambitious girls on a robotics team, their fathers, as well as a young mother – all while speaking with fellow pioneering women and topic experts who have actionable solutions to share.

Post-screening conversation: Using The Power Of Film To Encourage An Honest Dialogue About Ambition & Careers. The filmmakers will answer questions about the making of the movie and be joined by two educators (who have hosted a screening of Pioneers in Skirts at school). They will discuss lessons-learned for positively interacting with and influencing students.
