SheTech @ Mountain America Expo Center Coming March 1st 2018
SheTech helps high school girls find their place in tech
In most of her computer classes, Southern Utah University professor Shalini Kesar sees only about five or six women for every 20 men.
This is a common trend, both throughout Utah and nationally. Women are the minority in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and careers, representing just 23 percent of the technology workforce in Utah. See full article here
Girls getting hands-on tech experience
Southern Utah University was full of teenage girls learning about 3-d printers, chemical experiments, and even LED jewelry. SheTech’s hope is to give girls from rural Utah experience in tech fields, as well as mentoring, to inspire them to seek out careers in science, technology, engineering and math. [More]
