“We’ve found that 10- to 11-years-old is when a lot of girls start to say no to STEM. We want to show them #STEM is not only a possibility, but that there’s STEM in every industry—from business to fashion.” More with MakerGirl: giesbusiness.illinois.edu/ne….

Though there are many women in #STEM, women aren’t well-represented across all STEM disciplines. Women earn more than half of BS degrees in some STEM fields and fewer than half in others. These inequities make clear why we need to create pathways to a variety of STEM fields. #WHM
