Growing up is not easy for the female gender (let’s be honest, growing up isn’t easy for anyone.) BUT girls are frequently pushed and hustled into a few paths deemed acceptable for them by society. Not enough girls are encouraged to pursue their love of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM.) The sad fact is, women hold less than 25% of our country’s STEM jobs.
That shit does not fly with me and I am sure as hell it doesn’t fly with the creators of School of Doodle. Why is it so increasingly rare to find a girl who maintains an interest in science, math and technology? Verizon Wireless sheds light on this concept in their recent 2014 campaign: Inspire Her Mind.
