Women in STEM: Bridging the Gender Gap
Join Lauren Conaway and Eliza Kosoy, Founder and CEO of E-liza Dolls, for a discussion centered on bridging the gender gap in STEM (an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.) Girls and women are systematically tracked away from science and math throughout their education, limiting their access, preparation, and opportunities to pursue careers in these fields later in life. Enjoy an insightful discussion about the discrepancies in female representations in various STEM fields and how we might better bridge this gender gap.
