tidbits

The U.S. Bureau of Statistics projects that STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs will increase by over 20 percent in the next five years alone, but the U.S. is now finding a lack of young adults interested in science careers, further deteriorating the country’s global competitive edge.

I’m thinking that, as well as posting about CreateAthon, I’m going to make daily posts about the fields of STEM (a different topic within that field each day of course). 

  • so be on the lookout for things you didn’t know or even interesting little things that go along with the areas involved with STEM, the first day for this is tomorrow, I hope you’re ready!!
This is someone I follow through my regular blog on Tumblr, but I thought applied very much to VASS and the topic of STEM education and job opportunities. I also thought that what was said made some good points about STEM education and has actually given me some ideas on how to reach out to my primary audience so that STEM topics is more interesting and intriguing to them.  jtotheizzoe: good: It’s Time to Bust the Myth That Girls Don’t Like Science Research shows that girls are interested in STEM fields, but aren’t given information about the opportunities. If schools focus their efforts on ensuring that girls are informed about STEM opportunities, the number of women becoming computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians is sure to soar. Read it on GOOD→  Looking through my followers list is proof enough for me that there are loads of young women interested in STEM fields, whether it’s for their job or just expressing their identity. We need to show them the opportunities. We need to engage them in the opportunities. And we need to fight the other social pressures that pull them away from positive feelings about science.

It’s Time to Bust the Myth That Girls Don’t Like Science

Research shows that girls are interested in STEM fields, but aren’t given information about the opportunities. If schools focus their efforts on ensuring that girls are informed about STEM opportunities, the number of women becoming computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians is sure to soar.
