- When given a choice in 4th grade whether to continue studying math, 91% of girls say “yes.”
- By 12th grade, only 50% of girls continue.
- As a result, women account for less than 20% of the bachelor’s degrees in engineering, computer science, and physics; make up less than 12% of the engineering workforce; and hold only 10% of physics teaching positions at American colleges and universities.
This week, encourage the STEM/Engineering potential in the girls you know!
