Women Advancing in STEM Industries, However Gender Gaps Remain
Share Article
Product designer Caitlin Kalinowski is charging forward as a successful woman in technology and mentor for future generations of female engineers, mathematicians, and scientists. She is determined to change how girls view STEM programs and guide them into the field with a positive, confident mindset.
Women make up only 28% of the workforce in science, technology, engineering, and math, and men outnumber women majoring in most STEM undergraduate majors.
We can teach young women and girls to communicate effectively in STEM environments, so they can achieve the same status as men in the fields. Balancing and diversifying the STEM fields themselves will create cultures that are more welcoming to young women and underrepresented minorities.
