It is nice to see more Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math careers more gender equitable as more girls are getting involved in middle school projects and activities.
This was not the scene in the 1960s or 1970s. Opportunities are growing for females and minorities. As educators, it is our responsibility to promote and teach proactive science education for all students, with enthusiasm and excitement.
