Do you know that one of the major reasons females leave STEM is that they believe the (untrue) "geeky" stereotypes around STEM? Alas, according to Business Insider, when females hear generalizations about computer programmers, or engineers, their interest in STEM fields decreases.
At STEM Now, we are combating these false assumptions with our new series: Social Spotlight.
Every Sunday this blog will feature one STEM-group making a difference in the world.
A quick teaser for the Sundays ahead:
-one group with a novel approach to teach coding to young girls
-an organization pursuing a simpler way to recycle
These examples are just a small sample about what we will share with you, so make sure to check out STEM Now next Sunday for our first Social Spotlight!
