Meet a woman in STEM
One of the reasons girls do not consider careers in STEM is because there are not enough visible role models.
Here we showcase STEMAZING women doing a variety of totally accessible, interesting and rewarding STEM jobs.
To help you pick the perfect video, use the tags below.
They are grouped into four categories:
Role Model — area in STEM;
Specialism — showcasing a field of STEM expertise;
Characteristics — capturing qualities and strengths;
Diversity — representing a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
You can mix and match tags from within and across these categories — just like choosing the right ingredients for a recipe — and you’ll find a video of someone you can really connect with and relate to.
This is why we need more visible 'Women in STEM' role models - see our survey results below.
Girls into Engineering Survey
We ran an anonymous survey for young people that identify as female in Year 9 - Year 13 to get their views on STEM.
The results are enlightening! It shows we still have a long way to go to encourage more girls into engineering to address the gender imbalance problem in this sector. Raising awareness and understanding of what engineering is in schools is key, as is making women in engineering role models more visible. You can't be what you can't see!
