SECTION 1
GIRLS
AND
WOMEN
IN
STEM
Women have influenced eras and changed nations, Throughout history,
women have made extensive contributions in science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM).
Whether it is Sally Ride, who transformed history by being the first
American woman to fly into space, or Katherine Johnson, whose
historical contributions to STEM were captured in "Hidden Figures."
The STEM fields should be open to all. Yet, across the US there is a
lack of gender diversity in STEM fields. Although women made up 57.2
percent of all professional workers in 2015, they comprised only 46.6
percent of science professionals, 24.7 percent of computer and math
professionals, and 15.1 percent of engineering and architecture
professionals. The scarcity of women in STEM fields is a long-standing
and persistent problem.

SECTION 2
WOMEN
IN
STEAM
1. Women only make up 24% of STEM workers in the United States, 14%
of the country’s engineers, and 27% of computer science professionals.
2. The number of women in engineering in the U.S. has not increased
since the early 2000’s.
3. Only 15% of data scientists are women, despite an increase of data
scientist job postings by 256% since 2013.
4. Only 16% of American high school seniors are proficient in math and
interested in a career in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
5. While girls’ interest in computer science diminishes over time, the
biggest drop occurs between ages 13 to 17.
6. STEM occupations are growing at double the rate of other professions.
7. While progress has been made in improving the representation of women
in the scientific, engineering, and medical communities, women, and
particularly women of color, remain underrepresented in many
of these fields, and at many education levels and career stages.
8. Only 17% of all computer and information science bachelor’s degree
students were women.
9. Female students' achievement in mathematics and science is on par with
their male peers and, with the exception of computer science and engineering
courses, they also participate in high-level mathematics and science courses
at rates similar to their male peers.
10. Seventy-four percent of middle school girls who participate in STEM
activities say they are likely to study computer science in high school;
middle school girls who participate in STEM clubs and activities are more
than twice as likely to say they will study physics in high school, and
are nearly three times as likely to say they will study engineering.
