Equity for Women and Girls in STEM Education

The second part of a forum on women and girls in STEM education, presented on behalf of the American Association of University Women. The speaker framed the talk around three intersecting topics: public education, equity for women and girls, and STEM. She cited Title IX, national competitiveness and engineering degree counts, the National Girls Collaborative Project funded by NSF, and the AAUW's 2010 research report "Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics," before turning to a slide presentation and audience questions.
