Women In Tech

Making a Mockery of US in STEM

One of the smartest women in tech that I know, Peggy Smedley, just posted a great article highlighting gaps and opportunities in the U.S. related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education and careers, especially for women. "The worker of the future is so vital to everything we do as innovators. Without offering students a proper STEM education, there’s no doubt in my mind we are failing to do what is necessary to raise up the next generation of IoT innovators. Clearly, a lot of women... “leaked” out of the pipeline between school and career. And this is where we as an industry need to talk about why women don’t make it into and/or stay in STEM careers. Is it bias in hiring? Is it the glass ceiling that keeps women from advancing in their careers? Is it unequal compensation for equal work? Is it a difficulty balancing work and home life? Whatever it is, we can do better. We are smarter, stronger, and we are innovators. Need I say anything else? The fact remains we keep saying the same things over and over and we just aren’t doing enough together… Perhaps that is the operative word here: Together. We don’t have to make a choice, we just have to work together to make it happen." Read the full article and join the discussion here: https://connectedworld.com/making-a-mockery-of-u-s-in-stem/
