Q1: Women are 48% of workforce, but only 29% of STEM workforce (https://t.co/hVF6LqwT75). Why do you suspect that is? #caedchat

A1: Are girls stereotyped out of STEM? #caedchat

rickeducation Jul 2 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: Part of the reason is historical. Change occurs slowly. New generations have to come up to encourage young women into STEM #caedchat

A1: List qualities of engineers? Then picture group of middle school girls - social, chatter, emotions... #caedchat

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:11 PM EDT

I think so, even in elementary/middle, sometimes by T's. Yikes! #caedchat

I hope not - I have two girls and I want them to go in to the STEM field #caedchat

SanMarcosNGSS Jul 2 @ 11:14 PM EDT

That is so sad - we need to work to change that for sure. #caedchat

HowardKiyuna Jul 2 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2: I involved cooking & candy making in math/science. Lot's of my boys are bakers! Took note of girls interests & built on it. #caedchat

ArcherEdTech - Moderator Jul 2 @ 11:17 PM EDT

That does seem to be true. Maybe we need to focus on 12+ #caedchat

Q3: Women receive over half the degrees awarded in bio sciences (50.3%) but far fewer comp sci (17.9%) & engineering (19.3%). Why? #caedchat

A3 Boys spend more time playing computer games which I think leads to computer fields. Games are geared towards boys. #caedchat

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:24 PM EDT

A3 I don't think girls are aware of all the different things a computer science degree can lead to-not just video games #caedchat

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:25 PM EDT

I ran a class this year called "Coding for Kindness" to encourage all kids to look at programming as solving problems. #caedchat

HowardKiyuna Jul 2 @ 11:25 PM EDT

A2: I'd be curious if they're breaking into the workforce under different degrees? Design vs Engineering? #caedchat

Robotics are a good hook...but they are so expensive! #caedchat

Q4: How do media (books, movies, social media, etc.) encourage or discourage girls to consider STEM classes, clubs & careers? #caedchat

rickeducation Jul 2 @ 11:30 PM EDT

Absolutely! Girls also need more role models who are into science and tech #caedchat

As teachers, we really need to find those role models to show to girls-ones they can identify with. #caedchat

In reply to @SanMarcosNGSS

tjrocco Jul 2 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4 - gets back A1 and stereotypes. And games are such a large part of media anymore - pointed at boys #caedchat

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:34 PM EDT

I'm really glad there are starting to be movies like this. We need more. #caedchat

In reply to @rickeducation, @SanMarcosNGSS

#caedchat A6 I’ll have to ask around. My granddaughter is still a year or two away from Kindergarten. #research

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A6 I'm fortunate to be at a school @Quantum_Academy that encourages STEM. But we could be more overt about encouraging girls. #caedchat

SanMarcosNGSS Jul 2 @ 11:51 PM EDT

Seems like we are nearing the end here - you all are giving is some great figures for girls to look up to. #caedchat

CHansenCA Jul 2 @ 11:51 PM EDT

Since I heard @DrRoniEllington speak, I've been thinking about starting a girl's STEM club after school. #caedchat
