The lack of representation for Black women in STEM is a glaring issue. With just 1.8% in engineering and science roles, it’s clear we need to do more to bridge the exposure gap starting from the early years. Let’s push for equity in STEM and empower all aspiring young minds. Every small step counts. #STEM #DiversityInSTEM

‘As a Black woman in STEM, I have seen first-hand the lack of representation for women, especially Black women, in these in-demand career fields’. Yet another report that highlights the ‘exposure gap’ for Black girls to STEM and its long term impact, with Black women making up just 1.8% of the workforce in engineering and science. It’s an important reminder of how vital the early years sector is in terms of equitable exposure to inequitable fields of work.

Women make up approximately 30% of the STEM workforce. That number shrinks even more when we talk Black women. Research shows interest in STEM dies off in young girls by age 15. By exposing them and continuing to engage girls in STEM, they are more likely to commit to STEM-related degrees in college. This makes it more likely to pursue careers in that field, ushering in a new generation and perspective in science, technology, engineering and math.

Black Women in Tech When you consider that only 24% of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) roles in the UK are held by women, it shouldn’t come as surprise that the numbers are much lower when it comes to women of colour. The gender and race balance is off and it’s up to us to encourage more young girls and people of colour into STEM fields in the future, if we’re to ensure that the advancement of technology and scientific discovery is to truly reflect the world around us and the people in it.

Check out this interview with our Founder & CEO, Dr. Koshi Dhingra, about how we're empowering young females in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math in North Texas! 👩🔬
Happy Women’s History Month, everyone! It was a pleasure to celebrate women and girls in STEM on In Focus Spectrum News. As a member of an ecosystem of organizations, I am proud of our collective efforts to foster STEM mindsets in North Texas and beyond. Further, I am grateful to Texas House Representative Rhetta Bowers who authored House Bill 3435, declaring March 1 as “Texas Girls in STEM Day” since 2020. Texas is the only state in our nation that highlights the importance of girls’ participation in STEM in this way. In my recent interview with Karla Leal, I emphasized the importance of cultivating girls’ STEM mindsets in partnership with different youth-serving organizations and all adults who engage with children - from parents to in- school and out of school learning spaces. I have been working hard to ensure that all of the resources we provide through talkSTEM are barrier-free. They are completely free access and our online resources exist on platforms that are open to all families and educators. Let's continue to support and empower girls and women in STEM fields. Visit talkSTEM.org and click on educator resources to view our free resources. Every girl is a STEM girl. Every place is a STEM place. I am grateful to our partners that include Dallas Zoo The Dallas Arboretum & Botanic Garden GSNETX STEM CENTER OF EXCELLENCE SMU Simmons School of Education & Human Development Candace Walkington Mohammed Farshori Sejal Desai Leanne Geller Tony Petrosino Peter Goldstein I am also grateful to support from Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education Texas Instruments Comerica Bank Terri West. #GirlsinSTEM #WomeninSTEM #STEMeducation #TalkSTEMresources #Texas #HappyWomensHistoryMonth https://lnkd.in/gf7_uUuS

It’s vital that we challenge the lack of intersectional representation at every level of education. We need children, school and university students, and the general public seeing more disabled people, more Black people, more women and other marginalised genders, more LGBTQIQ+ people thriving in STEM. It’s not just about creating an environment where we can have a more diverse scientific workforce, it’s about increasing engagement and trust. In order to achieve this we are going to need to do things differently because it is obvious that repeating the same old initiatives isn’t enough.

Has the on-screen representation of women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) changed since 2018? To answer that question, the Geena Davis Institute has produced a new report "Portray Her 2.0: An Analysis of 15 Years of Women in STEM On-Screen, 2007–2022" which refreshes the analysis of STEM characters on-screen by looking at the past five years of TV and film https://lnkd.in/geNAFqVf
