Today was the first day where a group of passionate girls met for the first time in the GirlsInSTEM Club. Expectations were unknown but the passion was evident.
... 17 girls drew female figures and 12 draw males. Shocking because most DAST results show conclusions favoring males. The majority of the girls in the club see females in STEM. This is an amazing start! What I found even more fascinating was that 6 of the males that the kids drew were of family members (uncles or dads) in the STEM field. We will continue with the DAST on weekly basis and I'm hopeful that one day, they will draw themselves in the field. Secondly, we looked at quotes, statistics, and predictions that revolve around why GirlsInSTEM Club even exists. Check out these posters for their insights.
The girls got a strong sense of why this club exists. Next week, we shall move onward to exploring STEM. Exciting things are happening!
