The we STEM conference is a collaborative and interdisciplinary initiative aimed at fostering diversity and enhancing the presence of women in STEM fields within and beyond the UAE. Thier primary focus is on equipping high school girls with essential technical and interpersonal skills necessary for suc cess in STEM careers.\n\nThe IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) affinity grou p in the UAE is hosting a workshop\, called SheCanML\, during the conferen ce. Given the widespread usage of machine learning (ML) in our daily lives and its incorporation in various subfields within STEM\, we aim to provid e a fun and interactive introduction to ML for female high school students . Our goal is to engage participants in hands-on activities that will deep en their understanding of key concepts and empower them to train a simple ML model.\n\nCo-sponsored by: New York University Abu Dhabi\n\nAgenda: \nP roposed Plan:\n\n1.
