Africa may need an additional 23 million STEM graduates by 2030, and this is not just a number, but also a call to action. As opportunities in technology, AI, engineering, data, healthcare, climate and other STEM fields continue to expand, we need to be intentional about ensuring that girls and young women are not left behind. Inspiring the next generation of STEM women starts long before they enter the workforce. It starts with what they see, the women they meet, the problems they are encouraged to solve, the opportunities they are given to experiment, build and fail. And the confidence they develop to believe that they belong in STEM. So, how do we inspire more girls and young women to pursue STEM and, more importantly, to see themselves as leaders shaping its future? We share 7 powerful ways in this post; what would you add? And next week, we’re taking the conversation further. We’ll be sitting down with rising voices in STEM to hear their stories, experiences and perspectives. Follow us and catch those conversations. #womeninstem #nyiricodepodcast
