Have you heard the acronym “STEM” before? It’s popping up all over social networking and in high-tech industries. It stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math—these four areas are still underrepresented by women throughout the nation.
Organizations and nonprofits are working to change that, however, offering training and mentoring programs to girls and young women who might be interested in one of these fields, with a little exposure. In fact, Ford recently partnered with one of these organizations in Palo Alto, California called “Girls Who Code.”
