NGCP Webinar:
Messaging, Marketing and Media to Engage Girls in STEMTuesday, November 12, 2013, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Central Like. Follow. Repin. Tweet. How can we grab the attention of girls (and their influencers) and excite them about STEM with all the noise of viral videos, Instagram, Angry Birds, STEM stereotypes, and gender bias? To increase the diversity of those pursing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and to engage more girls, the conversation online, in classrooms and throughout our communities must change. Explore research-based practices for engaging girls in STEM and effective messaging, marketing, and media that excites them about STEM careers. This webinar will include relevant findings and strategies from Changing the Conversation: Messages for Improving Public Understanding of Engineering and other resources and publications. Presented by TxGCP Lead, Tricia Berry. STEM Days, Weeks and Months Galore!We think that every day, week or month is a STEM one...but here are some actual celebrations to support our STEM efforts: Have more to add to the list? Share them at stem@txgcp.org.
