Meredith Walker: Breaking Down Barriers for Girls in STEM

By Joshua Bolkan, THE Journal

Women and girls continue to be underrepresented in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Too many young women are discouraged early from seeking a profession in these fields. Obstacles are put up — misogynistic, socio-economic or cultural obstacles. There are other factors, too. They may not know enough about the subjects involved. Maybe no one they know works in these areas. Often, girls aren’t aware of the myriad ways that physics, engineering or technology shows up in our daily lives and makes things better.
