Why a Commitment to STEM? Science, Technology, Engineering and Math are important disciplines for all students. They teach strong logical thinking as well as practical skills. Yet all too often, girls buy into the societal pressure that these subjects are "not for me." There are specific teaching strategies, valuable resources and practical approaches that can sustain girls' interest in these areas.
The vision of the National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) is to bring together organizations that are committed to informing and encouraging girls to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). AAUW's partners in the project include the EdLab Group; Assessing Women and Men in Engineering; and the Education Development Center.
