Marvel's Thor Ragnarok is the Perfect Way to Promote STEM

For those of you who may not know, Thor's home, Asgard, is actually more science than magic. In fact, Stan Lee designed Asgard as a technologically advanced world so far beyond mankind's current technology that it only appeared to be magic. That makes it the perfect backdrop to promote STEM. Thor's world is an exciting one filled with all kinds of wonders, so it only makes sense to use it as inspiration for our young women coming up.

Through the Superpower of STEM Challenge, girls are offered the opportunity to win a trip to the world premiere of Marvel's Thor Ragnarok, as well as an immersive three-day mentorship in New York City with Disney Imagineering, the opportunity to appear on Good Morning America, and more. Take a look at this video with Kate Blanchett for all the deets.
