There is a problem that is well articulated by one of our students, Jean Fan. To quote her:
According to the US Department of Commerce, girls (women, females, Homo sapiens with two X chromosomes, whatever term you wish to use to refer to us) remain vastly underrepresented in STEM jobs as well as among STEM degree holders. Despite filling nearly half of all jobs in the US, girls hold less than 25% of STEM jobs. And despite the rising number of girls pursuing college degrees, girls hold a disproportionally low share of STEM degrees. So what's the problem?
After articulating the problem, she provides an ingenious kickstarter project that seeks to make a small contribution to addressing this problem. I recommend you join me in supporting this project.
