STEM, STEAM, STREAM: “In Dallas, the Ingredients are Here.”

To keep girls in science and math, we have to change a hostile culture
In this era of #MeToo and female empowerment, we need to do more to remove the gender gap associated with our girls and women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math. There probably isn’t a day that passes when you don’t hear the term STEM in the news, in a conversation or from the mouths of parents who are trying to find “the angle” to get their child a scholarship or a job. The disappointing reality is that while many girls are strong at math and science in their middle school years, they are far more likely to opt out of higher level math classes while their male counterparts stay in.
