Education Counts Michiana - Girls and Women in Science
Episode #708 - Girls and Women in Science
River St. Joe, a Michigan-based farm-to-table restaurant in Buchanan, and Fernwood Botanical Garden in Niles, have teamed up to promote women and girls pursuing careers in the sciences. Both organizations emphasize the importance of exposing girls at a young age to areas of STEM and encourage them to not be limited in what they want to do. Introducing girls to successful and empowering female role models is the first step.
