The four major disciplines propelling our students and our society forward; all about education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Why I Became a Scientist
A short time ago, I was approached with a job offer to work in an on-site R&D lab. After so many years of working in retail and neither making the money I needed to get by, nor to help my nieces, I jumped at the opportunity. I was left with a little over a month at my job of four years, and a lot of goodbyes ahead. This transition also left me with a lot of time for reflection. Why did I even choose to become a scientist in the first place? How did I wind up on the path to an Engineering degree?

A Man's World?
For years, men have dominated the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. If I looked around my Maths C class, I see just three girls compared to a whopping 21 boys. But why is this? Is it because they aren't as intellectually capable? Lack of interest? Or a lack of enthusiasm? Shouldn't we be encouraging more diversity in such important fields of study? By encouraging more females into these fields, they could be apart of a new discovery that could change the world.
