SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, ART, MATH
Introduction
The goal of this project is to create a growing database of videos that educators can use to introduce students to the stories and careers of amazing women in STEAM fields and incorporate engaging, real-world applications of math into the classroom daily.
If you are a woman in a STEAM field, please continue reading below to find out how you can help!
If you are a student or teacher, please check out the pages with videos organized by grade level!
How Can You Help?
Create a short video (3-7 minutes, nothing super long or fancy needed!) in which you do the following:
🔹Introduce yourself
🔹Give a brief overview of your career
🔹Share a bit about your life, how you got to where you are today
🔹Tell us about a time you failed and how you learned from it/something good came from it
🔹Ask a math problem/task related to your career that fits into the middle school curriculum
🔹Answer a student's question*
