So what is STEM?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is a nationally recognized force that is known to engage women into fields such as engineering. The gender gap between males and females exists. But why? And what can we do to help reduce, if not eliminate this?

The above link is a video from the STEM official website on WHY there are so few women engaging in engineering fields. 


The fact that men are higher in numbers in engineering fields is not in question. This picture was taken from the University of Colorado from the College of Engineering webpage. Take a look at the picture, how many men do you see? How many women do you see?




STEM is a great program to collaborate with for young females interested in engineering and math related career fields.
