Women make up half of the total U.S. college-educated workforce, but only 34% of the science and engineering workforce.
Girls and young women are interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and participate in STEM courses at high rates. However, young women report less interest in pursuing STEM careers than young men.
We need your help to encourage girls in STEM to continue their STEM journey.
Forty-five percent of high school seniors aspire to a STEM career, but a gender gap exists. Twenty-eight percent of young women report aspiring to a STEM career compared to 65% of young men. (source: Student Research Foundation)
