This eBook explores the intersection between science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, particularly computer science and girls. Historically, women and students of color have been largely absent from STEM fields and classes, and across 39 states only 45% of high schools teach computer science.
This eBook covers statistics for girls and students of color in STEM, the growing technology-dependent labor market, current initiatives and organizations encouraging STEM, literature on how to support these promising students, and resources.
