<h3>Meet Our Host</h3><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erintwamley/" title="https://www.linkedin.com/in/erintwamley/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Erin Twamley</a> is an award-winning children's book author, educator, STEMinist, and lifetime Girl Scout member. She currently lives near Brussels, Belgium with her husband and two children, including a Girl Scout Daisy!</p><p>In 2012, Twamley joined DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) as a contractor to help manage energy literacy efforts. Through her work at EERE, she saw how the struggles to diversify the clean energy workforce manifested, from participation rates in the workforce to recruitment and outreach efforts often focused on college students.</p><p>Recognizing that the best way to increase diversity in clean energy is to share stories about it, Erin left EERE to write and teach. Today she is an award-winning author of seven children’s books about diverse women with STEM careers who are working to build a sustainable planet. Her books share role models with kids to help them understand that they can be problem solvers. For example, as problem solvers, they can get a job figuring out the best material to use to make a wind turbine blade or installing solar panels on airports!</p><p>Erin is dedicated to engaging the next generation of learners in protecting and creating a sustainable planet through hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) learning. Erin loves to work with all kids K-12 and can't wait to meet the Taipei Girl Scouts!</p><p><strong><strong>Learn more about Erin below:</strong></strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stemsuperheros/" title="https://www.instagram.com/stemsuperheros/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">STEM Superheroes book series</a></li><li><a href="https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/meet-clean-energy-champion-erin-twamley" title="https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/meet-clean-energy-champion-erin-twamley" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Meet Clean Energy Champion Erin Twamley</a></li><li><a href="https://www.stemspark.co/post/interview-with-a-stem-author-erin-twamley" title="https://www.stemspark.co/post/interview-with-a-stem-author-erin-twamley" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Interview with a STEM Author</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorErinTwamley" title="https://www.facebook.com/AuthorErinTwamley" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Author Erin Twamley</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/erin_twamley/" title="https://www.instagram.com/erin_twamley/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Erin's Instagram</a></li></ul>
