In our technologically connected, highly digital world, STEM is part of everyday life for our young people in Riverside Unified School District. Therefore, in preparing our students for the new, and even unknown careers of the future, we must help them build more agency and capacity to better understand how products and outcomes from STEM are viewed, created, and applied. Unfortunately, higher education statistics show gender gaps in STEM fields, particularly how women have a lack of representation in STEM careers overall. At RUSD, we find this unacceptable, thus we endeavor to encourage our young female students to think about themselves as engineers, problem-solvers, and scientists so that they can build up their confidence for pursuing STEM fields in the future.
