Summary:

By encouraging girls and women to develop and maintain an interest in STEM subjects, we are preparing the next generation of researchers, engineers, scientists and programmers to meet the growing demand for skilled STEM professionals. Current and future jobs and societal challenges require and will increasingly require a wide range of skills such as teamwork, intercultural competence, empathy, creativity, problem solving and independent non-linear thinking. Accordingly, we must ensure that women and girls are widely represented at all levels as we move forward. It is more important than ever that we eliminate stereotypes and biases and promote women and girls who want to pursue STEM careers.
