Welcome everyone! The #MSFTEduChat TweetMeet has begun. We have a stimulating bonus question coming up to start the conversation. Ready? Be sure to use the hashtag #MSFTEduChat in your responses!
Hi #MSFTEduChat . Amanda here in Ireland! Scheduling my answers as I won't be finished work on time to join in live. Can't wait to catch up and read everyone's answers later on though!
When I think of Women in STEM my mom comes to mind because she is a strong leader and works hard every day of the week to accomplish her goals. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker: Ss: when I think of women in STEM I think of my mom who is a manager that is really lucky because she has never had anyone say you can’t do this because you are a girl. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker: Ss: When I think of women role models in STEM I think of my cousin Diana who is a police detective because she worked really hard to become a detective . No one has told her she can’t be a police detective.and I think she deserves her job. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker: Ss: when I think of women in STEM I think of my smart sisters because they never believe the negative way, they stay strong for their self image no matter what, and they never give up being risk takers #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Amanda Glover from Tampa, FL I teach 4th grade math/science/technology and am SOO excited to be one of many hosts for this months #msfteduchat about #WomeninSTEM
Icebreaker: Ss: when I think of Women in stem i think of Women inventors that made something that they made that helped people but they didn't get credit for what they made. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker: Ss: When I think of women in STEM I think of Ms. Santos because she is a great engineer and she is always inspiring me from how strong she is and what it to her to become an engineer and how she didn't give up on her dream. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
The usual mindset that girls don't really like STEM subjects! We need to push all students esp girls to take up stem subjects. #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEMM
When I think of #WomenInSTEM I think of some of the amazing female colleagues I have had in Science depts in different schools who ignited passion for their subjects in the classroom and weren't afraid to push the boundaries with their own development and their Ss.
Icebreaker: Ss: When I think of women in stem I think of Ms.Santos, she worked with us as a teacher candidate for a couple months and she is an amazing engineer which I think that that's really cool when we had a chance to build things in class #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
We are Grade 4 and 5 students from McMurrich Junior Public School in Toronto, Ontario. We will be participating and tweeting in the TweetMeet #WomenInSTEM happening right now! #MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker Ss: when I think about women in STEM it remind me of my mom because she is a Vice Principal and helps look for opportunities for all her students and teachers to do STEM in school #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A1. Lack of women in STEM means we are lacking the perspectives of half the world's population (more or less).it also means we are looking at a male centric STEM approach. So we do need more women in STEM to make it a wholesome platform #MSFTEduChat@MeenakshiUberoi
Hi everyone! Adam here from Chicago! #MSFTEduChat Icebreaker: When I think of women in #STEM I think of the amazing roll models of @DrBrookeHaag & @Jaqster
A1: Both men and women, scientifically are wired differently with their processing and problem solving. A variety of opinions, personalities, and perspectives offer a well-rounded solution when critically thinking. #MsftEduchat
#MSFTEduChat How to encourage girls in STEM ,Surround your kids with positive female role-models Find out if any of the mums at school work in STEM, and then point this out to your child ,Seek out books and movies that feature strong female STEM characters..
Q1. The world needs more women in STEM to inspire the next generation of brave girls to create the future they want. Let's close the tech gender gap and make it 50:50 by 2030 #GlobalGoals#womeninSTEM#STEM#MSFTEduChat
A1. Diversity creates innovation! More #WomenInSTEM means more diverse teams, ideas, and technologies. Women represent half of the world’s population, and their role in STEM fields helps ensure innovation for everyone. #MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker - When I think of an exemplary woman in STEM, I think of @Astro_Ellen. She set an excellent example for millions, and was incredibly generous - joining my students at my old school to tell her story, encouraging our K-4's to push themselves to greatness!

#MSFTEduChat How to encourage girls in STEM ,Surround your kids with positive female role-models Find out if any of the mums at school work in STEM, and then point this out to your child ,Seek out books and movies that feature strong female STEM characters..
A1: The world needs more women in STEM in order to represent half of the world's population and ensure diversity in approaches and solutions. #MSFTeduChat#WomeninSTEM
A1 There are many challenges in our world today...passionate women are needed to meet those STEM challenges with creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking! #MSFTEduchat
We are Grade 4 and 5 students from McMurrich Junior Public School in Toronto, Ontario. We will be participating and tweeting in the TweetMeet #WomenInSTEM happening right now! #MSFTEduChat
A1: Ss: The world needs women in STEM so people don't grow up to think that only males can be in STEM but everyone can. Women know to take risks and do whatever they want to do even if they are a girl #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A2: Ss: We engage women so they enjoy STEM activities by giving women the same rights for everything and I think women can do better work related to women’s needs than man. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A1. I also think is how you look at coding/tech.. In the pasts its been boys doing coding and playing games.. Now finally the doors are open and I think females are more open to it #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEMM
Women are blessed with 21 CLD skills. :) Teamwork, collaboration, knowledge, management skills, creative thinking and communication skills. #msfteduchat#womeninstem
A1 Ss: The world needs women in STEM because if there were no women in STEM there would be no good jobs for women and that is the opposite of equality. Women can give their side of life experiences and be innovative #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Icebreaker: Ss: When I think about #womeninSTEM I think of when we made w/ teacher candidate who is an engineer. Shared her story about job interview where she was not respected b/c she's girl & girls’ don’t get their hands dirty @amandasantos_ed built race cars! #MSFTEduChat
After seeing the documentary, we have to start with recognizing Hedy Lamar! To think she developed and invented frequency hopping in the 50s too! #WomenInSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A1: Ss: STEM needs women to inspire girls to take risks and stand up for themselves, to fight for what they want to achieve and to be strong even during the tough times #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Love to see students participating and teaching us in today's #MSFTEduChat! we need their voices and to hear their perspective. LOVE IT! #MicrosoftEDU#STEMchat
We are Grade 4 and 5 students from McMurrich Junior Public School in Toronto, Ontario. We will be participating and tweeting in the TweetMeet #WomenInSTEM happening right now! #MSFTEduChat

#MSFTeduChat
A1: Ss: When I think of a woman who can do amazing things I think of the classes former student teacher Ms.Santos because she helped build race cars which is one of many examples that woman can do amazing things and should be equal@amandasantos_ed #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A1: 1/3 The world needs #WomeninSTEM as they/we bring new perspectives, address biases, equity and meet/impact the needs of women worldwide. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
#MSFTEduChat The shortage of skilled workers and students in STEM is only half of the story. More alarming is the shortage of female skilled workers and students in STEM Women make up only 15-25% of the current STEM workforce, and the gap is broadening #WomenInSTEM
A1: Why WOULDN'T we need women in STEM? They bring a whole different perspective on how the world is experienced. We'd miss half of the ideas, inspiration, and opportunities if we don't include. #MSFTEduChat#MIEExpert
A1. Careers in STEM will be so important to solve issues the world faces in the future & the stats show that diverse teams outperform non-diverse teams to solve such problems. We need female AND male minds working together in these STEM careers #MSFTEduChat
A1: 2/3 Growing up as a kid in the 70’s/80’s I didn’t have STEM role models. I wanted to be a carpenter & build furniture at the shop with my dad (new immigrant). Both he and I were the butt of jokes/insult, I no longer allowed 2 go to the shop 2 build. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Love this...men and women often bring a different perspective! Both are needed, but our girls need to be given the opportunity to explore and grow in this area. #MSFTEduChat
A1. Lack of women in STEM means we are lacking the perspectives of half the world's population (more or less).it also means we are looking at a male centric STEM approach. So we do need more women in STEM to make it a wholesome platform #MSFTEduChat@MeenakshiUberoi
A1: 3/3 Whenever I brought up the subject it was quickly shot down as something shameful. I let it go and focussed on my art. I don’t want any of my nieces (4 & 17 years old) or students to ever experience being shut down because they are a girl. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM and #MicrosoftEDU a1: Women in STEM are organized, multitasked in life and determined to pursue the goal, sweet, serene, concrete and safe
To be successful in the sciences one has to achieve the confidence to think independently, to follow one's instincts, trust one's training and take a calculated leap into the unknown.
A1b Half the world are women, and lacking their perspective in STEM is a disservice to the world. Often female perspectives just haven't been considered before and it needs to be. #MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChat
A1) I always think of Roslind Franklin, Sally Ride, Jane Goodall, and Wonder Woman too :-) As a science teacher I try to make sure both genders are represented with scientific discoveries #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#MIEExpert
We need to teach every girl to first start believing in herself. This will be the first step towards encouraging women in STEM. Learning becomes fruitful only when we are able to enjoy what we learn☺️ #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
a1. I am not being biased in the slightest, but I have the best department in the school, creative, innovative passionate IT/Computing teachers who I look up to......by the way I am the only male in the department! #MSFTEduChat
Kids can construct whatever they want – girls love to use their Magnatiles to build elaborate palaces for their fairies – and in the meantime learn science, engineering and maths principles through play #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A2 Ask them! Seek their input & find out what motivates & interests them. Provide opportunities to use what they are learning, to collaborate, explore, create, question, solve, and to learn from mentors. Challenge & encourage. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
A2: Ss: We engage women so they enjoy STEM activities by giving them the same equal rights that men are provided so that everyone can enjoy it, be innovative and contribute together #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A2 - Just like with any work we do with Ss we need to build relationships to know how to reach them as #learners, then through that we build #STEM activities that are engaging due to their interests. #msfteduchat#WomenInSTEM
A2. We can generate excitement around STEM activities by showing girls that they can use their creativity to solve problems with science, technology, engineering & math. Offering hands-on experience & opportunities to connect STEM knowledge to the real world is key! #MSFTEduChat
use real world approach and pose a problem which they can relate to. Ask them to solve it using STEM and let it be non competitive.Girls/ women are more sensitive than their counterparts so they are more likely to come up with better solutions #MSFTEduChat
A1: Seeing is believing. My role-models each had something different in common with me, and it helped me imagine myself in the career paths I had taken.
#MSFTEduChat
A2: We can engage girls by presenting problems to solve that they are interested in. Ask them what problems they want to solve and then guide/coach them in developing solutions. #MSFTEduChat
A2. I think just like everything else you have to adapt and differentiate your class to include on what attracts them. Its not so black and white anymore. Show them whats possible and how its being applied, #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEMM
I am very curious to hear which student experiences have been most engaging to spark an interest in STEM! I bet @dougbergmanUSA has ideas he can share in our #MSFTEduChat
This story's both heartbreaking and hopeful. We're sad that that was your young experience, but glad your passion carried you into role-modelling STEM.
#MSFTEduChat
I believe that we engage them in STEM activities, just as we would any other type of activity. First discover their interests, and determine what activities can blossom forth from those same interests. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEMhttps://t.co/EMl4gI6egJ
a2. Connect them with role models in the real world. We had girls interested in engineering connect with an amazing lady in Germany via @skypeclassroom who gave them such advice. to hear "I want to be like her" -priceless! #MSFTEduchat
A2 Start at the youngest grades...giving girls the opportunity to explore and question...building on their passions and interests. We need to shift the mindset! #MSFTEduchat
A2: Embed in culture of learning. Promoting a growth mindset! Time 2 be curious, 2 explore, play & build. Opportunities 2 identify a problem they want 2 solve & guide girls thru the design thinking 2 plan, iterate, reflect on feedback & share solutions. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM and #MicrosoftEDU A2: Women in STEM have to show their enthusiasm, love for their passion, their determination and the desire to engage as a force of nature! Be.. Women in STEM of the 21st century #MIEExpert
A2: To engage girls in STEM introduce it early in schools, expose to a wide variety of STEM experiences, and bring in #WomeninSTEM role models. #MSFTeduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A2: Find what motivates them, and approach from that angle. Personalized learning strategies, differentiation (removing barriers), and opportunities to express their learning in their own way! This works for anyone!
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
A2: By giving girls access to engaging STEM activities from a young age we can boost their engagement in these subjects. Access to female role models like @theTrendyTechie@NataliePanek@kfacciol help reinforce positive messages about being a #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A2 - Just like with any work we do with Ss we need to build relationships to know how to reach them as #learners, then through that we build #STEM activities that are engaging due to their interests. #msfteduchat#WomenInSTEM
A2 Engaging girls should involve good pedagogy & approaches that speak to them - collaboration, relationships with mentors, personally relevant, open-ended projects, & allowing them to apply creativity. A good resource: https://t.co/49lT5j21bS#MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChat
I believe it's a story that many girls have experienced and that we need to continue to provide opportunities for all students to find their spark, be creative and take risks #MSFTEduChat
A2. We can increase engagement by making real life connections, we like to see how it makes sense in our immediate situations not just showing off who is the smartest #MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
Surely girls also enjoy STEM activities as I have many girls in my class who are doing very good in STEM activities but if art is added to the STEM activity I feel more girls would be intrested
A2: we should spark creativity with STEM learning activities and shape girls vision by empowering them to DREAM BIG, THINK BIG! Our world really need STEM girls and women
#MSFTEduChat
#msfteduchat#womeninstem
To engage and involve girls in STEM, more of logical thinking tasks in a way interdisciplinary should be assigned slowly generating interest towards STEM.
I think of women challenging the roles they are traditionally encouraged into, and engaging in what truly interests them, despite challenges. As a woman in both tech and education, I find myself between two worlds most days! #MSFTEduChat
A2. The same way any student becomes engaged- giving them student centred learning opportunities which will allow them to be innovative/creative and encourage them further, providing positive feedback and being a good role-model. #MSFTEduChat
A1 #MSFTEduChat in France many technical school heads sometimes discourage girls from coming. There are only 4 % of girls in engineering schools in electronics. But when i have girls dedigned and making robots in my class i can see the confidence and skills they acquire.
There are a few really awesome kits out there that are gender-neutral, or marketed towards girls, and I’m a big fan of these .kids learn how to follow instructions and build something really cool..#MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A2 Start at the youngest grades...giving girls the opportunity to explore and question...building on their passions and interests. We need to shift the mindset! #MSFTEduchat
#msfteduchat#womeninstem
Women are the best workforce. Proud to be associated with the school where women play a major role whether it be Human resource or I.T or Teaching, non-teaching staff.
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
Surely girls also enjoy STEM activities as I have many girls in my class who are doing very good in STEM activities but if art is added to the STEM activity I feel more girls would be intrested
We can engage girls by developing the adequate skills and supporting initiatives, researches, mentorship and scholarship schemes to increase their participation in STEM .
#MSFTEduChat@MicrosoftEDU#WomeninStem@DePedagogics
A2: Insert choice. My Ss built apps at the end of the year to celebrate their learning. One condition: apps needed to have content we learned this year. They all took off in interesting directions!
Here’s “Health City,” an app that explores choice itself.
#MSFTEduChat

A1: Because where would we be without computer programming and ice cream 🤷🏻♀️ We need women’s brilliance to continue to solve problems and change the world for the better! #msfteduchat
18 Inventions By Women That Changed The World https://t.co/a6n41c2d1c via @hcjewell
#MSFTEduChat#STEM Tyee Middle School in @TheBSD405 has an amazing STEM for Girls program...its called femi-STEM :-) @Hacking_STEM projects will be one of next activities
A2: we should talk more about women who dedicated their work to science and explore local examples, maybe bring local #womeninSTEM into the classroom to share their experience with students.
#MSFTEduChat
A.2: Create contexts that girls feel safe and engaged in learning in. Girls are still over spoken in classroom contexts with male peers, and often defer responses to questions on STEM related topics. Create opportunities for STEM mentorship in girl-focussed groups. #MSFTEduChat
Agree. & Ss don't even need to wait until it is their career. Let's empower them to use their resources to help people and bring positive change now. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomenInSTEM
A3 @SkypeClassroom provides real-world & relevant experiences. Ss can connect w/#WomeninSTEM, be inspired, learn from their experience, expand concept of career opportunities & possibilities. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A3: Ss: In the classroom we use different tools and materials to do different things to learn different things like our student teacher she was a engineer she taught us how to build different things with the tools needed like saws, mitre boxes and more. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A3: Ss: The tools, resources and learning opportunities that are in my STEM toolbox are the different times I have built prototypes and researched them through the Engineering Design Process #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat
Mentoring and being a guide to anyone is the best way to keep them engaged. #msfteduchat#womeninstem@MicrosoftEDU Experience from a contest where my girl student made upto finals in app designing. Bring a change..
#MSFTEduChat
In order to encourage women for STEM more exposure, opportunities and orientation is required. Further more scholarships and encouragement/motivation will be helpful.
Early exposure to many successful women in STEM, along with highlighting the deeply creative side of STEM activities, would have definitely gotten my attention as a young girl. -EC #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEdu#WomenInSTEM
A3. There are lots of great resources available to inspire & encourage #GirlsInSTEM, through Microsoft partnerships and beyond: https://t.co/wzVjPAcDzF. Many of them are free! #MSFTEduChat
To enjoy STEM activities,we need to help girls balance the variegated activities they might be involved in,encourage them by giving them reinforcements in the form of morale boost and appreciation ,also help them identify their area of interest #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
#WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
Ms. Rajeshwari Chaterjee- In 1953 with her husband started a research lab on Microwave Engineering, the first of its kind in India at IISc. She held the position of Chairperson of the Department of Electro-Communication Engineering at IISc, Bangalore.
A3 Teaching English means being creative when integrating learning opportunities in STEM into my class, things like #PBL that allows for cross-curricular connections & using #Minecraft are a couple ways to do this. #MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChat
As a teacher, we should have the skills necessary and experience to know how to prepare and deliver, but more importantly effective STEM activities with emphasis on "girls" #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
Some tools from Microsoft like touch develop, minecraft which help to get students engaged in programming and logic which is the first step in STEM. Then introducing micro bit which is a great stem tool

A3 21st century learning skills can be developed using resources like Microbit, Arduino, Lego , Rasberry Pi kits and surely there should be a curriculum that would direct the learning outcomes
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM and #MicrosoftEDU
mspaperless theTrendyTechie NataliePanek kfacciol Agree! Women role models are essential to inspire girls of all ages in STEM! Which women have inspired YOU? #MSFTEduChat via carainholland
A3. After introducing Computational Thinking I start with Kodu, MakeCode and Minecraft. Student designed lessons building 21st Century Collaboration Skills, Critical Communication, Self-regulation & Real-world problems solving. #msfteduchat
STEM activities will definitely help a long way in generating interest amongst girls. As teachers we need to plan our lessons based on STEM #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM#MicrosoftEdu
Ernesto Tamayo Jiménez profesor de Tecnología del @ieslamerced
participa en el PIE INGENIA de @educacyl. En el vídeo nos explica el proceso en el que se encuentra en la construcción de la mano robótica.@crfptic@cfievalladolid
A3. Inquiry based models are really effective to use. #MSFTEDU Hacking Stem activities are also really well detailed for classroom tasks. And a great read is "Teaching and Learning STEM" by Felder & Brent #MSFTEduChat
We have kodu, minecraft, microbit, makerspace and other open source resources, a STEM base curriculum and enough exposure to STEM activities around the Globe like hour of code. #MSFTEduChat@MicrosoftEDU

A2: Solving problems by combining creative thinking with critical thinking empowers girls to think out of the box. #GirlsInSTEM#womenInSTEM#MSFTEduChat
For me I try to get more girls involved in my local #CoderDojo and then it's about encouraging and supporting them once I get them interested. Also try to encourage my daughter and her friends every chance I get #MSFTEduChat
Fellow developers are my number one resource! Collaboration is key, and I know many of the devs here feel the same way. -EC #MicrosoftEdu#MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM and #MicrosoftEDU Not only computing but also math+computing to support critical thinking and problem solving skills! very usfyl for all STEM
Paul, not surprising! 21st century is about being able to access, interpret, analyze and evaluate what information. Technology wave occurring! #msfteduchat
A3: I create my own apps for math--they apply the pedagogy that I had learned and continuously update.
My students explored the relationship between mixed numbers and improper fractions with this one.
#inoticeiwonder#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEdu
A3. Children should taught think outside the box . So STEM toolbox to be bundled with HOUR OF CODE activities , Minecraft , Python , Scratch and IOT based training modules etc.
#MSFTEDUCHAT#WomenInSTEM
a3. I think the most effective resource you can have is the actual person leading it. As its been mentioned already role models are so important. Our lunchtime coding club and computer science course is led by a lady #MSFTEduChat
A3 And of course, DRAWP FOR SCHOOL is in my STEM toolbox.

A4: Ss: When students get the chance to build certain things like wooden chassis they use STEM tools like drills that is one tool we can use beyond the classroom walls #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A4: Providing students with hands-on experiences by attending conferences & workshops; as well as opportunities to share their voice as ongoing learners by co-presenting and leading at workshops and conferences themselves. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A4: Ss: Students are growing STEM skills beyond classroom walls by creating their own STEM challenges and sharing their STEM goals #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A4: Promoting student voice and giving students a platform will create a cycle of girls inspiring girls as they see themselves as critical thinkers & problem solvers beyond the classroom! #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A4. I would saying solving everyday issues. I think we are preparing them more with better tools and experiences to handle different things in life #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEMM
You are welcome, Sarah. If you have not completed then I encourage you to towards the Microsoft Certified Trainer. 21st Century thinking in our lesson. #msfteduchat
#msfteduchat#womeninstem
Tools and resources could be many but basic is opportunity provided to all in the classroom wherein teamwork, collaboration, skilled communication should top the chart. Girls can plan and design the world of their dreams making impossible to possible.
4: Ss: We also have the chance to share our STEM learning with our teacher at conferences at other schools this is an amazing STEM expierence#WomeninSTEM #MSFTEduChat
@SkypeClassroom is my personal favourite! It is amazing how much we can learn from one another through Skype! Was awarded by the Asia Education Foundation and Government of Australia for one such collaboration. If I can, then we all can😊 #MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM
#MSFTEduChat A3: math+robot+coding to prepare mixed reality, machine learning and AI with a vision of social learning and collaboration for example astro pi competition to solve a real problem
Improved results in Mathematics , Science and Computational Thinking. STEM in classroom increases the scope of Computational Thinking and Physical Computing at large. #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM#MicrosoftEdu
A4 Many Ss have STEM experiences outside of school. So many are #coding, creating, & learning at home. Ask them & be impressed about the innovative things they are doing! #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
A4 Ss apply inquiry, solution-based learning, & computational thinking all the time. We need to help them see those as important skills in STEM to bolster confidence #MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChat
ATALSTEMLab in our school aims to foster curiosity, creativity and imagination in young minds; and inculcate skills such as design mindset, computational thinking, adaptive learning, physical computing etc. irrespective of the gender.
#MSFTEduChat@MicrosoftEDU#WomeninStem
A4. I have always encouraged to use the internet to celebrate and collaborate - to play with new technologies and reach out to their potential audiences! #MSFTEduChat
A4. By trying to solve real world problems like one of my student created a RoboBin which traversed on Black line and the garbage it collected was segregated into biodegradable and non biodegradable
#MSFTEduChat, #WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
a4 you know they are growing when they come in and say "Hey Sir, can I show you something I have done at home?" clearly excited with their news! #MSFTEduChat
A4: I don't have my own classroom anymore, but I encourage my teachers to Redefine the learning experiences in their classrooms! @SkypeClassroom is amazing for that, plus the global reach of #O365 for collaboration!
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM#SAMR
While I don't have students, I am currently a student in a coding bootcamp. I've found that being given time and encouragement to make my own projects and solutions outside of the classroom has helped me grow tremendously. -EC
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEdu#WomenInSTEM
A4 Students today are problem solvers. They want to get out into the real world and solve real problems. They don't understand when the grownups in the room say that something can't be done.
#MSFTEduChat
A4a My littles share their work with families by creating videos etc. it can be challenging to find ways for Kinder to go beyond school and family...but it's a start. #MSFTEduchat
A1: We don't want to miss 50% of the world 's talent. We also want women's perspective on everything as they are 50% of users for most things #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
We are always trying to form #relationships with local third level institutes and universities and even business so that our girls get to experience #STEM subjects outside school. Also #conferences and workshops# #MSFTEduchat
A4 Students today are problem solvers. They want to get out into the real world and solve real problems. They don't understand when the grownups in the room say that something can't be done.
#MSFTEduChat
I am an English teacher.I have started using Microsoft tools in my teaching learning process, of course, with help from the Computer department and school authorities! Other subject teachers are also catching up. Definitely the beginning of a change!!#MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEM
A4: Ss take the skills that we teach them and apply them to solve their own problems or build their own inventions. They see opportunity and I hope to encourage them to explore. #MSFTEduChat
A4. 21st century learning requires moving beyond mastering - but to collaborative (interdependent) effort, being resilient & a life-long learning. #msfteduchat
A2. Empower girls to lead teams so boys and girls alike recognize them as creators.
Educate parents to advocate for advanced STEM opportunities for their daughters
#MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A4: Ss who are building their skill sets in the classroom will naturally apply them outside of the classroom. In Ireland the @BTYSTE, @SciFest4STEM & more also promote the learning beyond the classroom.Explorational extension tasks are also brill to use! #MSFTEduChat
Teach a girl to Fish : Rather than providing the answers to their questions, work with your children to use technology to research information and come up with solutions themselves #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A4. ATL labs in our school is giving chance to work on STEM projects not only to our own school students but also students of nearny community. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A4: A student of mine continued to view tutorial videos I had made about creating #PowerApps and continued to iterate more and more versions of “Potter Tube” over the summer.
It’s up to version 7 :)
#MSFTEduChat
Never quit taking healthy risks! You will always fail more than you succeed, but when you reach your goals it will be so much more satisfaying! #MSFTEduChat
On the topic of #WomenInTechnology and increasing skills in #STEM, it is important that women are not seen to be a problem that needs to be fixed. We are part of the solution. #MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat,#WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU a4: connection with the real problem is the focus of my math teaching in collaboration with my collegues; energy, tellecomunications, computer sciences are always connected with my teaching but in critical way!to think,understand,create,..
a4. I currently have a cupboard full of board games that the pupils have actually build from materials they found at home for a family to sit and learn about esafety in a fun way. Next big thing may be sitting there! lol #MSFTEduChat
A1: Ss: The world needs women in STEM so people don't grow up to think that only males can be in STEM but everyone can. Women know to take risks and do whatever they want to do even if they are a girl #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A4 1. Shape the way girls think;
2. Change their habits of being curious about the real world;
3. Change their visions that’s the way computer science can be applied into daily life! #MSFTEduChat
SkypeClassroom can actually change the way we teach. And I speak from my experience ☺️Thank you Skype for being in my classroom!!#MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM
We have also found that the power of @SkypeClassroom has opened up the world to our students! Our students are being inspired by the people the meet, and we are able to find these people thanks to #MicrosoftEDU#MSFTEduChat
A4: I don't have my own classroom anymore, but I encourage my teachers to Redefine the learning experiences in their classrooms! @SkypeClassroom is amazing for that, plus the global reach of #O365 for collaboration!
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM#SAMR
Our students continuously participate in various interschool, interzonal competitions and win laurels, be it Science,technology, Robotics, Maths. Such exposure allow them to move from local to global

A5: The roles mentors play to empower students passion for STEM are leadership roles and showing examples so they can look up to you with positivity and follow your lead.
#WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A5: We need to be proactive in providing opportunities for girls to pursue STEM careers. Opportunities like @LC3_STEM Girls’ STEM Equity Conference! There is also a need for supports to overcome barriers, and isolation of being the only female. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A5 Mentors are critical to empowering Ss to pursue STEM careers. Encouraging, challenging, & supporting Ss along the way makes an impact. This matters! #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
A5 Girls benefit from relationships w/ role models, so giving opps for girls to foster & build those relationships is one way mentors can empower Ss passion. Another is integrating #PBL that allows Ss to use creativity & follow those passions. #MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChat
4: Ss: We also have the chance to share our STEM learning with our teacher at conferences at other schools this is an amazing STEM expierence#WomeninSTEM #MSFTEduChat
#MSFTEduChat an hour of code at https://t.co/eCAyx8mvfv, hour of code with chatbots, using AR and VR as a teaching aid, Encouraging senior students to take MOOCs on AI & data analytics are helpful ways to arouse interest for STEM beyond the walls of classroom.
While many loved the 8-bit Quidditch game, my student was most proud of their formula for auto-incrementing a score with a variable 🤓
The apple doesn't fall too far from the classroom.
@PowerApps#MSFTEduChat
A5. I think they play a major role.. No matter what you do, you have a mentor that is passionate and dedicated, you will have kids act the same way and use their creativity to the fullest. #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEMM
A5: Girls need to see themselves in STEM roles, female role models and mentors who inspire and share overcoming challenges and reaching goals. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU

A4. All credit to Microsoft Educator Community where educators can explore, learn and experiment with their students various #STEM projects by connecting with educators beyond the classroom walls.
#MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
Our society is inching toward a future when the phrase "you code like a girl" will be a compliment of the highest order...waiting for this to happen #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A5: It's so important for girls to find role models in female scientists to show what is achievable and to engage more young girls in STEM #MSFTEduChat
#msfteduchat#womeninstem
Mentors role is great in providing inspiration and guidance at each step whether be offline or online 24 hours. I always believe that You do and it inspires..I am always available to my students..
A5 - Mentors play an important role as they provide encouragement, connections, and inspire questions. They help the student discover their passions. #passionbasedlearning#msfteduchat#womeninstem
A5: Girls need to see themselves in STEM roles, female role models and mentors who inspire and share overcoming challenges and reaching goals. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
A5. "Mentor" is a broad term & there are many but I think parents as the most crucial.They are often overlooked but are highly influential to "empowering" their daughters. Educating parents about the importance of #womeninSTEM could be what is needed moving forwards. #MSFTEduChat
A mentor who truly cares and invests in their pupils can change a student's outlook on STEM as a whole. Having a mentor to guide you with care, knowledge, and compassion is the best way to nuture a budding passion for STEM.
#MicrosoftEdu#MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
a5. More than they realise. A mentor is a powerful thing. It is a role model, an ear for advice and an encourager. After all, aren't we were we are today because we had a role model? #MSFTEduChat
A5: We need to be proactive in providing opportunities for girls to pursue STEM careers. Opportunities like @LC3_STEM Girls’ STEM Equity Conference! There is also a need for supports to overcome barriers, and isolation of being the only female. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A5 - Mentors need to be passionate themselves, encourage inclusivity, accompany the development of their Ss skills and always reflect on the work done.
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
#MSFTEduChat Mentors, male or female, show female S's that it has been done, they have a place, and the world needs more people like her to work. The role models they build create the preconceptions of equality that girl will work with her whole life! #WomenInSTEM

A5. Mentors provide valuable insights & perspective based on their experiences. You can't be what you can't see – female mentors for female students serve as role models that students can aspire to be! #MSFTEduChat
A5. Mentors are important but for me, to engage more girls with STEM, the key is to celebrate women role models- not just pioneers like Grace Hopper / Ada Lovelace but current role models young girls can relate to! #MSFTEduChat
A5 Our school is launching a Career Connections initiative to match Ss with a community member expert in the career in which they are interested. They will have lunch together in small groups, learn about their career path, & ask questions. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
A5 . Mentors should provide a safe, collaborative platform with room to think. We should pose a problem and let the students come up with STEM ideas to solve it. Let them think, don’t define rules or put boundaries in the form of a time frame or theme. #MSFTEduChat@MicrosoftEDU
A5. by providing training and meaningful , engaging resources to students.
Providing them the platform to think and innovate and by collaborating through skype across the globe. #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
Our students are participating both at national and international levels. They are not only bringing laurels to the school and country but also inspiring their peers to move forward and adopt STEM as a way of life. #msfteduchat@MicrosoftEDU

A5. Role of mentors is to provide the right environment and right platform to help students innovate and learn. Give them wings and they will learn to fly on their own. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU
#MSFTEduChat It's high time when education visionaries should think about making coding as a compulsory skill till grade 12. This will help to have more students inclined towards STEM.
A4. All credit to Microsoft Educator Community where educators can explore, learn and experiment with their students various #STEM projects by connecting with educators beyond the classroom walls.
#MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
#MSFTEduChat A5: mentors have to support about STEM To share the constructive experiences with enthusiasm, passion, conviction from scientific method and with particular closeness from 21st century teacher attentive and social
#MSFTEduChat#msftedu#WomenInSTEM#STEM
To step with time, a mentor has to be more approachable to the students at each phase of learning. A mentor keeps herself updated with the ongoing technologies to keep the classroom more enthusiastic and inspiring
On the topic of #WomenInTechnology and increasing skills in #STEM, it is important that women are not seen to be a problem that needs to be fixed. We are part of the solution. #MSFTEduChat via carainholland
anjuliahooja Mentors are great role models who can take a personal interest in individual empowerment of students in the classroom. #STEM#MSFTEduChat via carainholland

a5. Sadly, I believe, there are too many children who do not see the benefit of mentors because those who should naturally be that to them have failed them. We need to work hard to connect them with those who will be the role model they need #MSFTEduChat
A5. Mentors can also inspire and motivate students by qouting real life examples of people who excelled in STEM in diverse conditions. #MSFTEduChat@MicrosoftEDU
A5. One of the most important roles in education transformation is relational. It is not about STEM, tech or gender. It is about relationships, relationships and relationships. Students won't work for people they don't like (Rita Pierson). #msfteduchat
Oh my! I have totally forgotten the #MSFTEduChat I'm hosting teacher from our friendship school Cincinnati, Ohio. Have a nice chat and I'll check up the tweets later. :) #MIEExpert#MicrosoftEdu
A5: Mentors are hugely influential! Positive role models, not to mention being able to talk to someone that is actually doing what one is interested in! Relationships matter!
#MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEDU#WomeninSTEM
Mentors can tell students’ about their own experiences and how their passions led them there. If a student has passion for STEM, all it takes is for someone a few steps ahead to say they can achieve whatever they put their mind too! #MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM@MicrosoftEDU
Mentors are facilitators first, observers next and teachers in the end.We just need to create the conditions which will help our learners evolve with the help of their innate qualities. We are just the means towards the end😊#MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM
Girls are no less than boys in any field. Give them chance to show their potential, have faith in their ability and let them expriment fearlessly. You can see wonderful results!!! #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEdu
It would be great to get a central location for mentor / role models for teachers and edu professionals to draw upon when giving examples across the different subjects. #MSFTEduChat
a5. More than they realise. A mentor is a powerful thing. It is a role model, an ear for advice and an encourager. After all, aren't we were we are today because we had a role model? #MSFTEduChat
A3: #MSFTEduChat My STEM toolbox begins with unplugged activities which deepen an understanding for computational thinking and follows up with a variety of #MicrosoftEDU coding applications which apply in the realworld! The key is to make #STEM fun! #WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEdu
A5. One of the most important roles in education transformation is relational. It is not about STEM, tech or gender. It is about relationships, relationships and relationships. Students won't work for people they don't like (Rita Pierson). #msfteduchat
A6. Tomorrow is too short a deadline .The policies are in place.The statistics are out there.But there is still not enough action on the ground to make a real difference.Ts need to be given time to upskill so that the best learning opportunities are given to Ss. #MSFTEduChat 1/2
A5: My message is - "be proud of being a woman and be yourself. No need to copy anyone". Sense of belonging, pride, and confidence is key. That is what empowers female students. #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM#STEM
A5: Learning involves knowing, doing, and being (Herrenkohl and Mertl). The “being” component can be overlooked.
So as a mentor, BE a scientist, BE a tech-enthusiast, BE an engineer, BE a mathematician.
#MSFTEduChat
A6.Ts also need to be made more aware of the resources readily available such as HACKING STEM .School leaders need to look at the stats in their schools & aim to address any deficits for females.Parents need to be shown that this is a worthwhile route to explore 2/2 #MSFTEduChat
From astronauts to specialists in the fields of science, technology, engineering & math (STEM), as well as professionals in communications, human resources & more, women are helping @NASA fulfill its mission to explore our universe for the benefit of all! #WomensHistoryMonth

A4: #MSFTEduChat Give students real life #STEM activities in the classroom and this will automatically carry their interest beyond the classroom walls. #MakerChampion resources are a fabulous example for growing students STEM skills at home #DigitalSkillshttps://t.co/Z1Nzfve8GL
a6. I think its important to look at gender balance when pupils take subject choice - if male dominated the WHY question need to be asked and look at what can be done to bring the swing back, #MSFTEduChat
A6:Ss: I think we should make STEM careers accessible to women because women have the power to be innovative in different ways as men are #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A6: Ss: I could improve gender equality in STEM by proving that girls/women are just as capable as boys/men are and showing people that it's wrong to treat someone a certain way just because of their gender or skin color. Leading by example! #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A6. By monitoring, and evaluation of policies aimed at successfully tackling the issue of gender inequality in STEM and encourage the girl child to explore the potential in themselves. #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
A6: We need to check our bias; be mindful and intentional as we promote science, technology, engineering and math across all grades. Curiosity is in all children and we need to continue nurturing that curiosity, asking questions and seeking solutions. #WomeninSTEM#MSFTEduChat
A6 Cornell U finds a link btw increased gender equity in STEM by showing relationship of STEM jobs to the environment. One small way to help today is encouraging girls via this point.#MIEExpert@GEDSB21C#MSFTEduChathttps://t.co/0vK4ETZLLw
Share my own journey with other women to prove that it's not too late to start a career in STEM, and empower them to learn the skills they need and want to have for a STEM career! - EC

Our state is working on developing this, however they are not mandates as of yet. Right now we are developing a Computer Science plan to embed CS Standards into curriculum from K-12. #msfteduchat
We have already made #STEM as a compulsory part in curriculum. We keep both programming and robotics as compulsory from grade 3 onwards @GenesisGSchool@Neetibhalla28#MSFTEduChat
Proud of this big idea

Yes! Goes back to your message about relationships! If the opportunities are never presented to students, how can we expect them to pursue them later in life? #MSFTEduChat
A5: Learning involves knowing, doing, and being (Herrenkohl and Mertl). The “being” component can be overlooked.
So as a mentor, BE a scientist, BE a tech-enthusiast, BE an engineer, BE a mathematician.
#MSFTEduChat
A5: #MSFTEduChat Mentors are vital in creating a passion for #STEM! Girls need female and male role models and mentors who inspire them and give them a belief that they can be anything they want to be! #WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
Agree! Like this fully working #microbit powered smart watch created by a team of 11 year old girls for the elderly which alerts a carer/ family member via Bluetooth in case of an emergency. #MSFTEduChat
a6. There is part of me that wants to sit my classes down tomorrow, watch 'Hidden Figures' and see where the conversation afterwards leads! #MSFTEduChat
To improve gender equity in STEM we can keep inspiring young girls in STEM education, keep supporting women as they start their careers and keep raising awareness of the UK skills gap. #MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM@MicrosoftEDU
A6. Lets girls organize a STEM based event with activities related to STEM only. You will be able to see a different flavour in their organization!! #MSFTEduChat#MIcrosoftEdu
I agree and believe a big focus has been on changing all students mindsets to achieve perseverance. How then can we begin to remove more biases? #msfteduchat
#msftedu#MSFTEduChat#WomenInSTEM
6. Gender equity in Stem could be achieved by assigning tasks based on decision making, planning and building where team of male female both included having shared responsibility.

A6: studies show that if a parent isn't in STEM, they don't imagine and promote that for their own children. Teachers need to point out girls' aptitude and/or interest in STEM to parents...I like to send email observations to parents. #MSFTEduChat#WomeninSTEM#MicrosoftEDU
A6. Lets girls organize a STEM based event with activities related to STEM only. You will be able to see a different flavour in their organization!! #MSFTEduChat#MIcrosoftEdu
Thank you for joining today's TweetMeet! We're so excited to have students teaching us how we can better empower the young women of today to create the world of tomorrow. #MSFTEduChat
By integrating STEM subjects/activities starting with primary curriculum and developing Ss interest in the related subjects and by encouraging girls in the classrooms and giving them more opportunities @MeenakshiUberoi@OneNoteC@MicrosoftEDU#MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEM
#MSFTEduChat What about developing a culture of innovation with STEM in school and like other awards for academics and co-curricular, keep it as one award and give it to one boy and one girl. I am sure girls will equally compete.
Improving gender equity in STEM can only be possible if we teach our learners the importance of mutual respect and also erase stereotypes from our mind #MSFTEduChat#womeninSTEM#MicrosoftEdu
#MSFTEduChat A6: very difficult yes we can!I continue to support the study of STEM with demonstrations with colleagues engineers,chemicals,biologists,mathematicians,entrepreneurs to make our voices heard;Looking for scholarships,showing our strength enthusiastic women in STEM
A2: find role models in your area, and find activities that can interest them. Also, let them know it is OK to fail, every time you can!!#MSFTEduChat#MIEExpertLatam#WomenInSTEM

What a great chat! I can't believe how quickly the hour flew by... and I truly appreciate the opportunity for my Grade 4 and 5 students to participate as well from our class account! @mcm_mst#WomenInSTEM#MSFTEduChat
RT McM_MsT: We are Grade 4 and 5 students from McMurrich Junior Public School in Toronto, Ontario. We will be participating and tweeting in the TweetMeet #WomenInSTEM happening right now! #MSFTEduChathttps://t.co/rIyT6F2cUy via carainholland
Our #MSFTEduChat session are the third Tuesday of each month. Our next topic is not about #WomenInSTEM, but feel free to jump in today and answer the questions and share your thoughts!
Yes, especially proud as, at first, they didn't think they were capable of doing it! You should have seen their faces when they finally got it working! #MSFTEduChat
Correction: The apple doesn't fall too far from the teacher--my students are becoming geeky like me haha 🤓
They will go much, much farther than the classroom! 🚀
#MSFTEduChat
Created from scratch. I gave them some sample code to get them started as they hadn't coded before but the rest is all their own work. Another group of girls created a micr pet with light sensor as tail which cried when it went dark! #MSFTEduChat
These students actually responded to the #msfteduchat while chatting about #genderequity for #womeninstem! Such an amazing opporunities to connect with these kiddos while allowing them to see the power of social media.
Another group of girls created a room guard for their bedroom by attaching a PIR sensor to their #microbit and programming it to send a msg to another microbit when motion is detected. #MSFTEduChat#MicrosoftEdu
