#IfThenSheCan is a collection of 120^[1] 3D-printed orange freestanding 1:1 scale statues of American women in STEM fields. Various subsets of these sculptures have been exhibited across the United States, most prominently at Smithsonian Institution buildings in Washington DC.^[2][3] The exhibition is part of a wider project called #IfThen (also stylised IF/THEN), the name of which takes the form of a hashtag and refers to the project's motto: "if she can see it, then she can be it" (a concept called representation). Taken in the context of computer engineering (part of the E in STEM), an if/then statement controls logic flow.
