About the Event
The Game Changers Annual Luncheon is a special celebration honoring five women who have made a significant impact locally or nationally utilizing their STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education, with all proceeds benefiting Girlstart.
The event's mission is to support STEM education and raises critical funds to support Girlstart's core initiatives including free after school STEM programs. Learn more about Girlstart After School.
As a luncheon guest, you will be one of the first to witness experiments created by local Girlstart participants in 4th-8th grade. You will hear our exciting keynote speaker, Kari Byron of Discovery Channel's Mythbusters, and join us in honoring Texas women in our first ever Women in STEM Awards.

Keynote Speaker Kari Byron of Mythbusters
 Kari Byron has trained to be on Mythbusters since she was a child. By the age of 5 she was experimenting on her sister and using dolls to crast-test dummies. Luckily for her parents, they always caught her right before her little sister took a ride down a laundry chute or was the subject of an "around-the-world" attempt on the playground swings.
After graduating from San Francisco State University and traveling the world, Kari began her career as a sculptor and painter, holding successful exhibitions at some of San Francisco's leading galleries. Read more
