Girls do as well or better than boys in math and science, until adolescence–the “gender intensification” years when interest in traditional feminine norms accelerates and belief in them solidifies. The field has effectively addressed a host of external barriers (role models, implicit bias, stereotype threat…) yet studies suggest that one overlooked key may be girls’ own beliefs—specifically that being feminine and being good at STEM are in conflict. Join this open, interactive presentation on basic gender terms and concepts and a new way to improve STEM outcomes among at-risk girls.

Refreshments will be provided. Please contact Ani Martinez, Remake Learning Community Manager, with any accessibility or dietary requests. ani (at) remakelearning (dot) org. Refeshments will be served at 1:00pm, the presentation will begin promptly at 1:30pm.

More details will be posted to this page closer to the event date.
