Women make up just 34% of the workforce in professional STEM fields. In college, too, women are underrepresented: about 21% of engineering majors are women and around 19% of computer and information science majors are women. So, the question is: Why does this happen? Are women just less interested in these fields? Jennifer Hoffman, Shannon Murphy and Robin Tinghitella, all faculty in the University of Denver's College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, answer that question with a resounding “NO.” Together at DU, Shannon, Jennifer and Robin co-host science summer camps for middle-school girls. And they are not only providing opportunities for girls to become acquainted with STEM fields, they're also studying the campers' relationships to science. In a recently published paper, the trio, along with outside colleagues, examine the effects of these science summer camps on girls' relationship with science and their scientific self-efficacy by asking the girls a series of questions before and after their camp experiences. In this episode, Emma chats with the three female scientists about their experiences as women in STEM and why it's so important to get girls interested in the sciences early in life. Jennifer Hoffman is a professor of physics and astronomy in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. She holds the Womble Chair of Astronomy and directs DU's historic Chamberlin Observatory. Her research interests focus on the late stages of massive stellar evolution, in particular on the role of binary stars in shaping supernova explosions. Hoffman uses a combination of observational spectropolarimetry and 3-D computational modeling to explore these research questions. She sees her roles as an educator and mentor as a vital part of her scholarship. In all these arenas, Hoffman works to expand opportunities and remove barriers to participation in physics and astronomy for people from historically underrepresented groups. Robin Tinghitella is an associate professor of biological sciences in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. As a behavioral ecologist, she works to understand how rapidly changing environments alter animal communication, particularly interactions between males and females. Researchers in her animal behavior lab use both insect and fish model systems and are supported by the National Science Foundation, the Morris Animal Foundation, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the Animal Behavior Society (amongst others). Shannon Murphy is a professor of biological sciences in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Denver. She studies the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and insects. Murphy works side by side with students to investigate how these plant-insect interactions are affected by global change. She works closely with undergraduate and graduate students to both teach them about and study the ecology and evolution of interactions between plants and insects, and together they investigate how these interactions are affected by global change.

Dr. Tabby Rabenberg, Principal at Bismarck Public Schools, discusses the critical role of self-efficacy and hands-on experiences in empowering girls to pursue careers in STEM fields.Drawing from her extensive experience in education, Tabby shares valuable insights into the importance of building confidence and providing diverse opportunities for young students, especially girls, from elementary school through high school.Through innovative programs and a holistic approach to education, Tabby and her team at Bismarck Public Schools are inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders and preparing them for success in a rapidly evolving world.In this episode, you'll learn:The correlation between self-efficacy and interest in STEM fields, especially math and scienceThe impact of hands-on experiences on students' confidence and career choicesStrategies for fostering a growth mindset and building self-confidence in young girlsThe importance of early exposure to STEM opportunities in elementary and middle school - and why starting career exposure in high school is too lateInnovative approaches to STEM education and career pathways at Bismarck Public SchoolsQuotable Moments:"There is definitely a high statistical significance between the correlation of confidence and interest. And I think what we need to do to encourage that is to offer those [hands-on, career-relevant STEM] classes to all students so that then they can take a look and say, 'oh, yeah, that's something I had no idea was interested in.'""We need to start taking a look at those career-ready practices in every class, even from the time that they're in elementary."3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment is essential for promoting girls' participation and success in STEM: Establishing a culture of diversity and inclusion in STEM education involves breaking down barriers and challenging gender biases. Middle school girls should be able to meet female engineers and scientists, be taught by both male and female STEM teachers, and have access to role models that can help them see themselves in a STEM career.Self-efficacy plays a critical role in shaping girls' perceptions of their abilities and career aspirations in STEM: When girls believe they're capable of succeeding in STEM subjects, they have greater confidence and are more likely to want to take those classes. By promoting a belief in their own capabilities and providing positive role models, educators can empower girls to embrace challenges, persist in their endeavors, and thrive in STEM-related fields.Early exposure and hands-on experiences are essential for empowering girls (and all kids!) in STEM: Schools can't start career prep in high school - it's too late! Instead, elementary school should introduce career awareness, middle school should include career exposure, and high school can move on to career readiness. Learn how BPS is starting career exposure early on with fun, engaging and massively-successful summer camps.Resources mentioned in this episode:To learn more about Bismarck Public Schools, visit: www.bismarckschools.orgMore notes + resources on the show page: https://techedpodcast.com/tabby/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn
Summer has arrived for Miss Scofield and Mr. Lane the STEM Guy!!! They haven't recorded a pod since November.

A bill that would effectively kill the Indianapolis Blue Line died suddenly Thursday after a compromise was reached between the state legislature and local leaders. The higher education bill that academics say guts tenure protections heads to the desk of Gov. Eric Holcomb. Indianapolis Public Schools will start using electric school buses as part of a new partnership meant to decrease fossil fuel usage. A Medicaid program called Attendant Care has been a lifeline for families with disabled members. The program provides funds for parents and spouses caring for their loved ones, who often need hospital-level, around-the-clock care. But the state Medicaid agency is proposing big cuts to it.

I Wish, the social enterprise inspiring girls globally to consider careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), is welcoming almost 3,000 female students to its 10th annual Showcase today (February 8) in the RDS, Dublin. Over the past decade, I Wish has engaged with over 60,000 students, hosted close to 1,000 speakers, and partnered with over 50 industry leaders. This year's event boasts a line-up of over 50 influential speakers including former President of Ireland and current chair for elders Mary Robinson. Irish science communicator and entrepreneur Ciara Judge; VP of Mid-Market Global Business Group, EMEA Meta and Head of Meta Ireland, Anne O'Leary; global diversity and inclusion leader Furkan Karayel; aeronautical engineer Dr Norah Patten, and Irish Olympian hockey player and biomedical engineer Katie Mullan will also share their insights and experiences, igniting inspiration among the young attendees. Mrs Robinson, who will speak at a session today on climate justice and the challenges in achieving gender equality globally, outlined the importance of "seeing is believing", with female role models inspiring girls to think bigger. In the recent I Wish Survey of Female Students' Attitudes to STEM, 51% said a barrier to STEM was a lack of female role models while 66% cited poor gender equality in STEM careers. Mrs Robinson said: "I am delighted to join I Wish again this year,?marking?their 10th?anniversary. It's an honour to be part of an event that ignites the spark of possibility in the hearts of young women. As a staunch supporter of 'girl power', I witness its transformative impact every day through my work. "I recognise and applaud the profound influence that organisations like I Wish have on teenage girls, assisting them to embrace their power, and enabling them to forge paths in careers they are passionate about. Seeing is believing for young minds. Together, let us inspire and pave the way for a generation of fearless trailblazers, breaking barriers and shaping a world where every dream is within reach."?] Echoing Ms Robinson's sentiments, I Wish co-founder Caroline O'Driscoll highlighted the significance of providing access to inspiring role models, stating: "When we founded I Wish 10 years ago, our guiding ethos was to give 'Choices, Chances, Changes' to girls and ensure that they have every opportunity to take their place in the economies of tomorrow and not be left behind by broken stereotypical biases of the past. "In our annual survey, time and time again girls tell us that they want more information about STEM and report that access to female role models positively influences them. At our Showcase, over 3,000 teenage girls get the opportunity to listen to the lived journeys of some amazing trailblazers. This in turn allows them to see what a career in STEM is truly like, understand the variety of careers and pathways available and the positive impact that STEM has on our world." This year's event sees the introduction of the inaugural Podcast Hub, in association with Amy Jane Keating, founder of the Go Do You podcast, featuring insightful conversations with leading female STEM voices. These recorded podcasts will be rolled out over the coming months, further amplifying the impact of the event. Also, as part of an extended partnership, Iarnród Eireann and Bus Éireann are providing free rail and bus transport to almost 1,500 girls from 15 locations across Ireland to the event. I Wish co-founder, Gillian Keating extended her thanks to the 40 leading companies from pharmaceutical, technology, and engineering sectors taking part in the event, from speakers to interactive exhibitions. "We are fortunate in Ireland to have so many multinational and indigenous companies committed to showcasing STEM pathways to the next generation of female leaders and innovators. They understand that their future and the sustainability of their business are inextricably linked to the career choices young women make ...

Jen Landis: So before we get into talking about technology, and I know you're into space, which is really cool tell me the first memory, you have of really like thinking technology or coding or space was cool like how old were you and what was that story.Elsbeth Magilton: So I loved science and technology at a really young age, and then sort of lost it for a while and came back to it but. At a really young age, I was in a group and maybe they still exist, I don't know, but it was called odyssey of the mind or OM. And it was parent lead, but it was this like a national organization and they would give these teams of kids creative challenges, and it was really science, technology and arts.And I remember having to solve this challenge of like how we put together like 10 minute presentation on something that had to have like a fictional narrative, but we also had to build the set and design the set ourselves and make it mobile, so we could pack it into a certain size box like I don't remember exactly what all the parameters of the challenges were.But I remember my dad was our leader and there was like four of us were like I don't know fourth graders and just geeky out like I just love that intersection of creativity and language arts with science and technology challenges and definitely definitely caught the bug then.I did you know I think like a lot of particularly young women, but a lot of young people generally kind of lost my love for stem it a midpoint and then thankfully had some excellent professors in college and got back to it.Listen in to hear more from Elsbeth, her knowledge fascinates me!Support the show
