Event Description:
From the research team who brought you Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics comes a deeper dive into engineering and computing, fields that offer 80 percent of STEM jobs but still boast dismal numbers of women students and workers.
Watch the launch event for Solving the Equation: The Variables for Women’s Success in Engineering and Computing live from Samsung’s Mountain View Campus to find out why women aren’t in these fields — and what we as employers, educators, and parents can do about it.
