Encouraging Girls and Women to Enter STEM Professions
All children are born scientists, curious about how the world works. However, by the time girls enter middle school, there is a sharp drop off in their interest in science and technology. In 2015, women filled 47 percent of all U.S. jobs but held only 24 percent of STEM jobs. How can we encourage girls to maintain their interest in STEM topics, and enter science and technology careers as adults? Kerrigan will share how she learned to love science and some ideas on how to foster a love of science in the young women in your life.
