This regression is even more pronounced if there are a lot of science-minded boy boys in your class, because the girls start to feel intimidated. Now, we are facing a scenario in which scientific careers such as STEM professions are booming and will be the jobs of the future. So it is time for educational agents, governments and families to become strong to close the gender gap in education and promote the inclusion of girls in STEM careers. Because if Hedy Lamarr saw that even today only 28 of researchers are women, don't you think she would be upset.
How to encourage girls' participation in STEM careers In this post we are going to present some tips that will help foster the interest of your daughters, nieces, sisters or granddaughters in science to achieve among all that the participation of girls in STEM careers increases. 1. Start with photo editor breaking any gender stereotype Since boys and girls are very young, we must watch our biased behavior towards them. Neither girls have to dress only in pink nor boys play only with cars.

Giving them neutral toys or encouraging them to play with everything that interests them is the first beginning for an egalitarian education. We also have to take care of our language and correct any stereotypes that they may see on TV or hear playing with others. For example, if they say boys can't have long hair or girls can't climb trees, you might want to counter those ideas with real examples like dad's friend who has long hair. 2. Encourage interest in science through experiments, books, and games As long as we're able to spark girls' interest in STEM careers.
