• STEM and STEAM: A Guide for Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities
  According to the National Science Foundation,
  women, minorities and persons with disabilities are largely underrepresented in science and engineering (S&E). This underrepresentation is seen in both S&E education, as well as S&E employment. While there are a variety of reasons as to why specific demographics are underrepresented in STEM, the important takeaway is to understand how we can bridge the divide. Resources here.

• Women in STEM: A Guide to Bridging the Gender Gap View all blog posts under
  Historically, women have been systematically excluded from higher education.
