A 2013 mixer and startup showcase hosted by Tech Cocktail in Washington D.C.
The Washington region’s economy offers considerable opportunities for those working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Kojo explores the state of diversity in the D.C. region’s STEM fields, with educators who are looking to change it and a journalist who’s been tracking it.
