> Getting Girls Hooked on Science and Engineering

Would you let me know what you discuss? This is something I'm really passionate about.

Any suggestions?

- Studies show that if the girl isn't hooked onto a STEM career by middle school, she'll probably lose interest due to high school pressure.

- find female role models she can relate to (whether Grace Hopper or Kari Byron) and encourage her to explore how to become like her role model

- Groups like the Girl Scouts or www.girlstart.org can provide resources and ideas

Does that help?

Those are great suggestions. Thanks.
