To determine that there is a problem with girls in STEM we decided to look at many factors. GALA.org provides insight from Liz Hicks about why she founded GALA and the existing STEM gap. Also girls' math SAT scores were alarmingly lower than boys' math SAT scores. Only 19% of women have a bachelors degree in engineering. Also there is still a salary difference even in high paying STEM jobs women only get 86 cents to a man's $1.
We will determine that our project was successful by conducting a survey: We will ask young girls (around Elementry and Middle school age) if they think that they could go into a STEM job. After we have collected those results we will give them a copy of the book. If the number of girls who are either interested in STEM or think that girls can pursue STEM jobs increase we have done our job and declare our mission successful.
We would also appreciate it if you filled out this short survey above!! Thank You!!
