I had so much fun with these girls yesterday! One of the things that struck me most from our talks was how many said their favorite subject was science or math.
The National Girls Collaborative Project finds that K-12 female students achievement on math and science standardized tests is on par with their male peers’ test scores, and female students participate in high level maths and science courses at similar rates as their male peers. Yet, this all changes at college and in the workforce, especially in Computer Science (my field), Engineering, and Physics fields.
Young girls’ love for STEM starts early on, but many are discouraged from continuing this love after high school graduation. STEM fields have some of the best job opportunities and wages, and are great opportunities for intellectual growth and satisfaction. I encourage you to talk to the young girls in your life about STEM, and my message box is always open if she (or you) have any questions!
Interview with Channel 13 Albany
I interviewed with Subrina Dhammi on NewsChannel 13 Albany about winning Miss United States and my work in promoting children’s STEM and Arts Education with Art Technically.
$10,000 Raised for Children’s STEM and Arts Education
This month, you helped me raise $10,000 for children’s science and arts education through my nonprofit Art Technically! Thank you so much for taking time to take surveys through HundredX Causes. I can’t wait to use these funds for more Science Bears, scientist and artist Barbies and toys, STEM/STEAM books, and workshop materials for disadvantaged K-12 students!
New Science Bear Colors
Meet a Science Bear from our new color collection! “Science Bears” is a special Art Technically project that creates scientist-themed teddy bears for children in need such as children at Child Advocacy Centers and family shelters.
