10,000 Girls Explore Science Careers
American educators have long noted the importance of the four fields known as STEM -- science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Experts believe that increasing the number of women in the STEM fields needs to start early, when girls are in middle school or when they are even younger.
For “Girls and Science Day,” the Denver Museum of Science and Nature invited more than 300 women to the museum. All of them work in science-related fields, but have different areas of expertise.
