Gender in the Workplace

Hello LINC 7 Students!

Here's the link to the radio interview on gender inequality in science and math. It's called "The Only Woman in the Room," and it's from the CBC Radio science show "Quirks and Quarks."

Regarding our conversation about girls and young women going into STEM majors (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), here's a short Microsoft video that encourages girls to pursue a career in science.

Here's a summary of the Microsoft approach to this situation:

"7 out of 10 girls are interested in science. Only 2 out of 10 will pursue it as a career. Let’s change that. Through the voices of these girls, we celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History month. We support the bright young women who participated in this project and all girls who share our belief in the empowering nature of science and technology.

Microsoft is committed to creating opportunities for all youth. DigiGirlz is a Microsoft YouthSpark program that gives girls the opportunity to learn about careers in tech. Learn more about it here: http://msft.it/digigirlz"
