The Gender Gap in STEM | Nicole Serrano | TEDxYouth@CPS

Why is there gender inequality in the fields of STEM? Nicole Serrano, a sophomore at College Prep answers this question, drawing from her personal experiences with sexism, historical examples of sexist actions concerning men who have made important or even revolutionary scientific discoveries, and studies showing sexual discrimination in the workplace and in technology. But what can be done about these factors leading to gender inequality? Nicole also proposes solutions and actions that can be taken to help girls go into STEM from a young age and keep women in STEM careers in adulthood.
