Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Our Girls & STEM Impact Report shows us that girls who have teachers who treat them like they are smart are 56% more likely to have interest in pursuing a STEM occupation.
The data is clear: school climate matters.
So what can we do to support girls at school?
We need to create communities where girls feel valued, supported and free to be themselves (pst, that’s what our ROX Facilitators do within their ROX Programs!).
Another idea is to create STEM-focused clubs and groups that provide a supportive environment for girls to explore their interests, share their challenges and celebrate their successes.
