I want to thank Beck Andre for sending this excellent article ” How to Get Girls to Choose, and Stick With, STEM Careers: A Future Tense Event Recap“. The article covers a lot of ground and gives some rationale for why we aren’t seeing the numbers of women in STEM careers you might expect.
The fact that we have a leaky pipeline means we see girls and women dropping out at all levels; from elementary school where it’s not cool to like Math to academics at institutions that want to have careers and families.
See if you can relate to any of the stories in this article or share your story in our comments section.
