Women have always had a home in the STEM fields, but in this issue we speak with several women who have risen to the top in the their chosen professions. They talk about the struggles of getting young girls into STEM at crucial ages and how to foster that interest so it doesn’t vanish after middle school. We visit X-STEM, an exciting event hosted by our partners at the US A Science & Engineering Festival. The book is also filled with interesting stories on tomorrow’s workforce, great after-school programs and even the top STEM books of the past year. So dive in and enjoy!
