Women In Technology (WIT)’s Post

I wrote this article last year to illustrate why fixing the lack of diversity in physics is much needed for the challenges our society faces, the opportunities for young people and our economy. This is a problem that can be fixed. But it needs people and organisations from all walks of life to form a movement for change behind some powerful messages 👇🏼 #diversityinstem #equalityforall #youngpeoplematter

What fears do you encounter in the rapidly changing world of STEM? In the ever-evolving landscape of STEM, fears can be overwhelming. Whether it's fear of falling behind or uncertainty about the future, acknowledging these concerns is the first step to overcoming them. Let's discuss the fears we face and support each other in fearless STEM exploration. Engage in the comments to share your fears and offer support to others. Let's build a community where we can face challenges together, turning fear into fuel for growth and innovation. Engage in the comments and support your fellow STEM enthusiasts! 🚀 #STEMFears #FearlessExploration #EmbraceChange

#STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) fosters a comprehensive skill set that enhances professional growth. It encourages #CriticalThinking, creativity, #ProblemSolving, and #innovation, making individuals more adaptable and competitive in the job market.

🌟 Inspiring Women in STEAM: Let's share their stories with children 🌟 As someone deeply passionate about #STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), the incredible journeys of #women in these fields have always inspired me. But I wanted to go a step further by not only be inspired myself. I want little girls and boys to be inspired as well by these life stories and paths successful women took. 🚀 I want children to realise they can too follow their #dreams. But sometimes all it takes for them is to see it is possible. That is where #STEAMTales come in - a unique project where we combine the awe-inspiring stories of successful women in STEAM with hands-on experiments designed for children. This is not just about reading, it is about doing, experimenting, and visualizing a future in STEAM. 📢 I'm reaching out to brainstorm together. 📢 Do you know any incredible women in STEAM whose stories deserve to be shared? Maybe even your own? 😎 Whose journeys could light up a child's imagination and ambition? Tanja Kožuh, Maja Voje, Maja Cemazar, doc. dr. Urska Ivanus, MD, Kristina Kočet Hudrap, Franja Prosenc your insights would be invaluable here! And to everyone else, please drop your suggestions. Let's together build a library of tales that can guide, inspire, and encourage the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and dreamers. 💡 #erasmusplusproject #erasmus #experiments #stemeducationforkids #stemeducation #reading #inspiringwomen

👩💻👩⚕️What does it mean to be a woman in STEAM? "Being a girl in STEAM, to me, means having the support and strength of an incredible community of women as I embark on my career in computer science. It means being able to gain invaluable knowledge from the advice of women who decide to take time out of their busy days to share their experiences in the workforce. It signifies the profound gratitude I feel, knowing that no matter what direction I take, I’ll have a network of pioneering women in technology to reach out to as I start the job search and begin my journey in computer science." - Stuti Thummala, student at Alliance Academy for Innovation (Georgia) If you are a woman in STEAM, tell us what it means to you >> https://lnkd.in/eDdQCF9Q #WIT #WeAreWIT #science #technology #engineering #arts #math

Happy Friday, STEM enthusiasts! Let's wrap up the week with a fun and brain-teasing STEM challenge. Challenge: What comes next in this sequence? [2, 3, 5, 9, 17, ____] Hint: Look at the differences between the numbers. Post your answer in the comments below! Explain your reasoning and see if others agree with you. #STEMChallenge #BrainTeaser #FridayFun #STEMCommunity #MathPuzzle

🗣️We've all heard about the illuminati and how they take away people's souls (and perhaps eat babies???) some of us believe in parts of it while others think of it as total bullcrap. ✨So much curiosity about an organisation that is simply a conspiracy and untraceable at that. So why not let me use this opportunity to enlighten you about a very legitimate organisation instead, which is just as trustworthy and traceable as carbon paper ;) 💪 The star of the show here is an organisation called STEMExpedition (aka this page) which acts as a super cool doorway (like the one you see in Narnia) and leads you straight into the kingdom of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Here imagination and innovation go hand in hand to show you just how accessible the world of STEM can be. With engaging projects, podcasts and articles. Aiming to bloom flowers of curiousity and inspiration towards STEM, for you to water. It is a student led organisation which emphasises on the importance of exploration, creativity and inclusivity. It doesn't simply provide you with a space to learn at but is also a platform where you can share what you know in the form of STEM articles for other enthusiasts to appreciate. Let your enthusiasm towards the field of STEM grow and dwell into something beautiful and impactful at STEMExpedition. #stem #stemeducation

You can't be what you can't see, which is why relatable role models play such a key role in boosting representation and diversity in certain sectors and careers. We are part of a consortium, #PlanetPossibility, funded by the Institute of Physics, which aims to encourage more young girls to consider studying physics. To do this, we need to show them where studying physics can take them, and introduce them to women in the industry. Our physics careers insight pack, ‘Exploring the World of Physics’ features female professionals from the sector, just like Poppy, who can show young girls that they do belong in the world of physics. https://lnkd.in/ec74b7w6
