We believe it is our social responsibility to do everything we can to increase the number of women going into STEM careers. This means increasing the number of women studying STEM subjects, which requires getting girls excited about STEM so that they will choose to study it.
Stella STEM’s Activity Pad is designed to enthuse and excite young girls about STEM subjects. The aim is to get them asking questions and looking for answers so that they will realise science is fun, and, hopefully, choose to go on to study it later in life.
We are trying to show girls that STEM subjects aren’t just for boys, and these booklets are designed for just that. They contain information and exercises on a number of STEM subjects, as well as some examples of incredible women throughout history who excelled in their fields and influenced the world of STEM for the better, creating the world that we know today.
