Join Carrie Zalewski and Women Lead TV host Kimberlee Centera on Monday, July 15th at 11:00am Pacific Time, for a lively conversation about the value of a STEM education for girls.
SAN DIEGO, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are widely regarded as critical to the economy. Pew Research Center studies demonstrate that STEM workers typically earn two-thirds more than those employed in other fields. While research shows no innate cognitive biological differences between men and women in math, women comprise only 34% of the STEM workforce.
Carrie Zalewski, who holds a B.S. degree in engineering and a law degree from Chicago Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology, is a passionate advocate for women in STEM and renewable energy. In this episode we will delve into Carrie's dynamic journey as we explore her experiences, challenges, and triumphs in breaking barriers and navigating the corporate and institutional landscape.
"It is clear that more needs to be done to increase the visibility of female role models, if we're going to close the gender gap in STEM," states Carrie Zalewski. "We must not only encourage girls to study math and science, but also get them excited and interested in choosing a career in the energy industry. We must relay to the industry how a diverse workforce has many benefits, and that it is good for business"
"I am excited to sit down with Carrie, to shed light on gender dynamics, the perception that girls are not good at math, and the persistence required to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field," remarked Kimberlee Centera. "Carrie is an inspiring role model for women of all ages.
