GIRLS CAN RISE!
Girls in STEM
Many studies have found that females have been underrepresented and undervalued in both STEM careers and educational settings for far too long. There is no shortage of data to reflect this unfortunate reality. Research also finds that girls become interested in STEM in school at around age of 11, but their interest starts to wane by the age of 15. STEM jobs report that only about 30% of all STEM degree holders are women, and that nearly 40% of women with engineering degrees either leave the profession or never enter the field. There is a huge need for girls to stand up together and fill this gender gap.
