How can we help women get involved in STEM education in the future and what are some ways to promote the motive that women can excel in science and technology?

Female education in STEM

Women are highly underrepresented in STEM careers. This is causing many women not to be involved in the workforce and choose a different career. This topic of the sources explain different ways to help women get involved in STEM more and start them off at a young age to develop confidence in their abilities. There are many examples and experiences of sexism inside of the STEM world with a male dominated field. This is causing many women not to be involved in the workforce and choose a different career. There is growing evidence that sexual harassment, bullying, unconscious bias, and active discrimination play significant roles in forcing women out of the pipeline. Women are constantly dealing with different pressures from the STEM world not having gender equality so we need to do something to help them get out into this world that is constantly evolving.
