As a society, what brings us together is continued growth and development. It’s in the process toward our goals where we find the sense of confidence and belonging that we need as humans.
Today’s guest, Sharon Jones, shares how we can find hope in the continuous work and celebration of education. In her work, she especially sees the impact of this on young girls interested in STEM. By encouraging an environment where students and educators alike feel like they can be themselves and be passionate about their work, we can create a future where young girls and women can feel more empowered to find their place in technology.
Tune in now to learn more about seeking continual education, why women in STEM is important, and how we can foster this interest in our own communities.
