Presented by AT&T and Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas, with creative design and production by Corporate Magic, the exhibition will shine in the Hall of State

Today's girls are destined to lead tomorrow's boardrooms and courthouses and run our hospitals and technology start-ups. But a cycle of discouragement is stopping girls from moving forward. They're backing down from their aspirations. They're opting out from activities they once loved. They're even shying away from raising their hands in class.

About 150 scouts between the ages of 11 and 13 got hands-on experience with careers in science, technology, engineering and math at the AT&T Foundry in Plano on Tuesday.
